Molecular detection of hemotrophic mycoplasmas among domiciled and free-roaming cats in Campo Grande, state of Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil [PDF]
Hemoplasmas are bacteria living in feline red blood cells. Feline hemoplasmosis is frequently associated with old male cats that have access to the streets. This study aimed to detect the presence of hemoplasma speciess in domiciled and free-roaming cats

Hemotrophic mycoplasma in Simmental cattle in Bavaria: prevalence, blood parameters, and transplacental transmission of 'Candidatus Mycoplasma haemobos' and Mycoplasma wenyonii. [PDF]
The significance of hemotrophic mycoplasma in cattle remains unclear. Especially in Europe, their epidemiological parameters as well as pathophysiological influence on cows are lacking. The objectives of this study were: (1) to describe the prevalence of 'Candidatus Mycoplasma haemobos' ('C. M. haemobos') and Mycoplasma wenyonii (M.

Microbiological and proteome analysis to gain insights into the pathogenesis of the highly adapted not-cultivated hemotrophic Mycoplasma suis [PDF]
The aims of this work were to establish a chronic pig infection model and to clarify unrecognized transmission pathways of M. suis. In addition, proteomics-based investigations of M.

Complete genome sequence of the hemotrophic Mycoplasma suis strain KI3806. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Mycoplasma suis , a member of the hemotrophic mycoplasma (HM) group, parasitize erythrocytes of pigs. Increasing evidence suggests that M. suis is also a zoonotic agent. Highly pathogenic strains of M. suis (e.g., M.

Hemotrophic Mycoplasmas Induce Programmed Cell Death in Red Blood Cells [PDF]
Hemotrophic mycoplasmas (HM) are uncultivable bacteria found on and in the red blood cells (RBCs). The main clinical sign of HM infections is the hemolytic anemia. However, anemia-inducing pathogenesis has not been totally clarified. In this work we used the splenectomized pig as animal model and Mycoplasma suis as a representative for hemotrophic ...

The complete genome of Mycoplasmoides cavipharyngis strain 117C, a close relative of hemotrophic mycoplasma [PDF]
ABSTRACT Mycoplasmoides cavipharyngis is one of the closest relatives of the highly host-adapted and uncultivable hemotrophic mycoplasma. The complete genome of strain 117C was constructed from long-reads derived from Pacific Biosciences single-molecule, real-time sequencing technology ...

Rare zoonosis (hemotrophic mycoplasma infection) in a newly diagnosed systemic lupus erythematosus patient followed by a Nocardia asteroides pneumonia [PDF]
Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is per se a disease characterized by suppressed immune response and thus susceptibility to various opportunistic infections. We describe the case of a 21-year old woman who developed a rare zoonosis - hemotrophic mycoplasma infection in the initial stage of SLE, complicated with Nocardia asteroides pneumonia ...

A rare case of equine Haemotropic Mycoplasma infection in Nigeria [PDF]
Equine haemotropic mycoplasmosis (EHM) is a condition rarely reported worldwide. A horse presented with unspecific clinical findings and non-response to treatment to the common and endemic haemoparasitic and bacterial infections, warranted a thorough ...

Background: The length of a protein sequence is largely determined by its function, i.e. each functional group is associated with an optimal size. However, comparative genomics revealed that proteins length may be affected by additional factors.
