Outbreaks of Hemotrophic Mycoplasma Infections in China [PDF]

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2009
To the Editor: Infections caused by hemotrophic mycoplasmas (formerly called eperythrozoonoses ) in animals and humans have been emerging in the People’s Republic of China in recent years. To date, 6 hemotrophic Mycoplasma spp. have been identified in rodents and mammals (1). M. from pigs, M. wenyonii from cattle, and M.

A review of the occurrence of hemoplasmas (hemotrophic mycoplasmas) in Brazil Uma revisão da ocorrência dos hemoplasmas (micoplasmas hemotróficos) no Brasil

Revista Brasileira de Parasitologia Veterinária, 2009
Recent studies have been conducted in Brazil using molecular techniques for the detection of hemotrophic mycoplasmas in several mammals. In domestic cats, Mycoplasma haemofelis, 'Candidatus M. haemominutum', and 'Candidatus M. turicensis' infections have

Occurrence of hemotrophic mycoplasmas in horses with correlation to hematological findings [PDF]

Veterinary Microbiology, 2012
Hemotrophic mycoplasmas (HM) are small, cell wall-less bacteria and infections are known for a wide range of animals. One possible indication of equine HM infection was given in 1978, when a 'haemobartonellosis' outbreak was diagnosed in Nigerian horses by microscopy. However the first molecular proof of HM in horses was not reported until 2010, when a

Insights into the gene expression profile of uncultivable hemotrophic Mycoplasma suis during acute infection, obtained using proteome analysis. [PDF]

J Bacteriol, 2012
ABSTRACTHemotrophic mycoplasmas, bacteria without cell walls whose niche is the erythrocytes of their hosts, have never been cultivatedin vitro. Therefore, knowledge of their pathogenesis is fundamental.Mycoplasma suisinfects pigs, causing either acute fatal hemolytic anemia or chronic low-grade anemia, growth retardation, and immune suppression ...

Hemoplasma Infection in HIV-positive Patient, Brazil [PDF]

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2008
Hemotrophic mycoplasmas infect a variety of mammals. Although infection in humans is rarely reported, an association with an immunocompromised state has been suggested. We report a case of a Mycoplasma haemofelis–like infection in an HIV-positive patient

Mycoplasma haemocanis – the canine hemoplasma and its feline counterpart in the genomic era [PDF]

Veterinary Research, 2012
Mycoplasma haemocanis is a hemotrophic mycoplasma (hemoplasma), blood pathogen that may cause acute disease in immunosuppressed or splenectomized dogs. The genome of the strain Illinois, isolated from blood of a naturally infected dog, has been entirely ...

High frequency and molecular characterization of porcine hemotrophic mycoplasmas in Brazil

Veterinary Microbiology, 2019
Mycoplasma suis and Mycoplasma parvum are the two hemotrophic mycoplasmas species described in pigs. M. suis is involved in infectious anemia, while M parvum infection is commonly subclinical. The objectives of this study were twofold: (i) to investigate the prevalence of porcine hemotrophic mycoplasmas in sows from the southern region of Brazil by ...

Survey of infectious agents in the endangered Darwin's fox (Lycalopex fulvipes): High prevalence and diversity of hemotrophic mycoplasmas

Veterinary Microbiology, 2013
Very little is known about the diseases affecting the Darwin's fox (Lycalopex fulvipes), which is considered to be one of the most endangered carnivores worldwide. Blood samples of 30 foxes captured on Chiloé Island (Chile) were tested with a battery of PCR assays targeting the following pathogens: Ehrlichia/Anaplasma sp., Rickettsia sp., Bartonella sp.
