Prevalence and Whole Genome Sequence Analysis of Mycoplasma bovis Isolates From Bulk Tank Milk of Dairy Farms in Tennessee, USA. [PDF]

J Vet Intern Med
ABSTRACT Background Mycoplasma bovis mastitis is an important disease of dairy cows that causes substantial economic losses. However, its prevalence in different states in the United States (US), including Tennessee, is not well known. Furthermore, recent studies showed a high prevalence of bovine hemotropic mycoplasmas in US dairy farms.

Phylogenetic Analysis of Hemoplasma Species: an International Study [PDF]

Journal of Clinical Microbiology, 2003
ABSTRACT Nearly complete 16S rRNA gene sequences for feline and canine hemoplasma isolates from Europe, Australia, Africa, and Asia showed almost 100% identity to those previously reported for United States isolates. Partial sequences of the RNA subunit of the RNase P gene were also determined, and RNase P-based phylogenetic ...

Hemophagocytic syndrome in a cat with Mycoplasma haemofelis infection

Veterinary Clinical Pathology, Volume 52, Issue 2, Page 320-323, June 2023., 2023
Abstract A six‐year‐old, castrated male domestic shorthair cat was presented for a week‐long history of lethargy, acute anorexia, and adipsia. On presentation, the cat was weak with pale mucous membranes, open‐mouth breathing, and mild popliteal lymphadenomegaly.

Risk factors of different hemoplasma species infections in cats [PDF]

BMC Veterinary Research, 2016
Hemoplasma species (spp.) commonly cause infections in cats worldwide. However, data on risk factors for infections are limited. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of hemoplasma spp. infections in cats in Southern Germany and to assess risk factors associated with infection.DNA was extracted from blood samples of 479 cats presented ...

Occurrence and bacterial loads of Bartonella and haemotropic Mycoplasma species in privately owned cats and dogs and their fleas from East and Southeast Asia

Zoonoses and Public Health, Volume 69, Issue 6, Page 704-720, September 2022., 2022
Abstract Bartonella spp. and haemoplasmas are pathogens of veterinary and medical interest with ectoparasites mainly involved in their transmission. This study aimed at molecular detection of Bartonella spp. and haemoplasmas in cats (n = 93) and dogs (n = 96), and their related fleas (n = 189) from countries in East and Southeast Asia.

Associations between presence of Bartonella species deoxyribonucleic acid and complete blood cell count and serum biochemical changes in client‐owned cats

Journal of Veterinary Internal Medicine, Volume 36, Issue 2, Page 532-540, March 2022., 2022
Abstract Background Infection with Bartonella species is common in cats but reported effects of bacteremia on laboratory variables differ. Objectives Evaluate for associations between Bartonella bacteremia and CBC and serum biochemical changes in sick and healthy cats throughout the United States. Animals A total of 3964 client‐owned cats.

Novel hemotropic mycoplasmas are widespread and genetically diverse in vampire bats [PDF]

, 2017
Bats (Order: Chiroptera) have been widely studied as reservoir hosts for viruses of concern for human and animal health. However, whether bats are equally competent hosts of non-viral pathogens such as bacteria remains an important open question. Here,

Risk of transmittable blood‐borne pathogens in blood units from blood donor dogs in Canada

Journal of Veterinary Internal Medicine, Volume 35, Issue 3, Page 1316-1324, May/June 2021., 2021
Abstract Background Canine blood donors can be infected by various vector‐borne or other pathogens that could be an important cause of morbidity and death in transfusion recipients. Hypothesis/Objectives To estimate and predict positivity to transmittable blood‐borne pathogens in blood units collected from blood donor dogs in Canada.

Worldwide Occurrence of Feline Hemoplasma Infections in Wild Felid Species [PDF]

Journal of Clinical Microbiology, 2007
ABSTRACTWhile hemoplasma infections in domestic cats are well studied, almost no information is available on their occurrence in wild felids. The aims of the present study were to investigate wild felid species as possible reservoirs of feline hemoplasmas and the molecular characterization of the hemoplasma isolates.

Hemotropic mycoplasmas in little brown bats (Myotis lucifugus). [PDF]

, 2014
BackgroundHemotropic mycoplasmas are epicellular erythrocytic bacteria that can cause infectious anemia in some mammalian species. Worldwide, hemotropic mycoplasmas are emerging or re-emerging zoonotic pathogens potentially causing serious and ...
