Quantitative Assessment of Mycoplasma Hemadsorption Activity by Flow Cytometry [PDF]

, 2014
A number of adherent mycoplasmas have developed highly complex polar structures that are involved in diverse aspects of the biology of these microorganisms and play a key role as virulence factors by promoting adhesion to host cells in the first stages ...

Expanded diversity of novel hemoplasmas in rare and undersampled Neotropical bats

One Health, 2023
Hemotropic mycoplasmas are emerging as a model system for studying bacterial pathogens in bats, but taxonomic coverage of sampled host species remains biased. We leveraged a long-term field study in Belize to uncover novel hemoplasma diversity in bats by

Prevalence of Vector-Borne Pathogens in Reproductive and Non-Reproductive Tissue Samples from Free-Roaming Domestic Cats in the South Atlantic USA

Pathogens, 2021
Reservoir to multiple species of zoonotic pathogens, free-roaming cats (FRCs) interact with domestic and wild animals, vectors, and humans. To assess the potential for feline vector-borne pathogens to be vertically transmitted, this study surveyed ear ...

Hemoplasma infection in wild captive carnivores [PDF]

Pesquisa Veterinária Brasileira, 2020
: Hemoplasmas are bacteria able to adhere themselves loosely to the plasma membrane of erythrocytes and may parasitize several species of mammals. There are three known species of hemoplasmas that parasitize domestic and wild cats: Mycoplasma haemofelis,

Host–parasite relationship in urban environments: A network analysis of haemoparasite infections in Nasua nasua Linnaeus (South American coati)

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, Volume 39, Issue 3, Page 456-463, September 2025.
Urban environments alter host–parasite dynamics, as seen in Nasua nasua, where haemotropic Mycoplasma plays a key role in parasite spread through frequent social interactions. Network analysis revealed low modularity in interactions between N. nasua and tick‐borne haemoparasites, with functional roles unaffected by biotic factors, tick infestation or ...

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

Journal of Veterinary Internal Medicine, Volume 39, Issue 4, July/August 2025.
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.

Levantamento molecular de micoplasma hemotrópico em mão-pelada (Procyon cancrivorus) do sul do Brasil [PDF]

, 2023
Hemoplasmas are non-cultivable bacterial parasites of erythrocytes that infect domestic and wild animals, as well as humans. Their means of transmission and pathogenesis remain contentious issues and difficult to evaluate in wild animals.

Blood Carboxyhemoglobin Concentrations as a Diagnostic Biomarker of Hemolytic Anemias in Cats

Journal of Veterinary Internal Medicine, Volume 39, Issue 2, March/April 2025.
ABSTRACT Background Endogenous carboxyhemoglobin (COHb) production is a byproduct of hemoglobin metabolism. Hypothesis Blood carboxyhemoglobin concentrations are higher in cats with hemolytic anemia (HA). Animals Twenty cats with HA, 29 cats with non‐HA, and 22 controls were prospectively followed. Methods Blood tests were performed upon admission. The

Detection of Anaplasma phagocytophilum in an inflammatory pericardial effusion of a dog

Journal of Veterinary Internal Medicine, Volume 38, Issue 4, Page 2339-2343, July/August 2024.
Abstract An 11‐year‐old female spayed German Wirehaired Pointer with a 1‐week history of lethargy, hyporexia, diarrhea, and coughing presented with pericardial effusion causing cardiac tamponade. An echocardiogram revealed no structural cause for pericardial effusion.
