Bat-Associated Hemotropic Mycoplasmas in Immunosuppressed Children, Spain, 2024. [PDF]

Emerg Infect Dis
We report the detection of hemotropic mycoplasmas in 4 immunosuppressed pediatric patients in Spain: 2 solid organ transplant recipients, 1 hematopoietic stem cell transplant recipient, and 1 cancer patient. Sequences were 100% identical to a strain previously identified in Miniopterus schreibersii bats, which raises concerns about unnoticed zoonotic ...

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

Epidemiology and Infection, 2017
SUMMARYBats (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.

A Novel Hemotropic Mycoplasma (Hemoplasma) in a Patient With Hemolytic Anemia and Pyrexia [PDF]

Clinical Infectious Diseases, 2011
A patient with chronic moderate neutropenia, acute hemolysis, and pyrexia was found to be infected with a novel hemoplasma species. A clinical response to doxycyline was noted, and moxifloxacin was added subsequently to aid infection clearance. This represents the first report of hemolysis in association with confirmed hemoplasma infection in a human.

Survey of vector-borne and nematode parasites involved in the etiology of anemic syndrome in sheep from Southern Brazil

Revista Brasileira de Parasitologia Veterinária, 2020
Although anemia has been historically linked to Haemonchus contortus infection, other infectious agents, such as hemotropic mycoplasmas and tick-borne disease pathogens, may also lead to anemic crisis in sheep.
