Epidemiology, Phylogenetic Divergence, and Differential Pathogenicity of Feline Respiratory Mycoplasma in China

Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Mycoplasma felis (M. felis) is a wall‐less pathogen known to induce respiratory diseases in felines. Current research on respiratory M. felis infections is scant, lacking established typing system and nationwide epidemiological survey. This study investigated the prevalence of M.

Cutaneous myiasis, hemoplasmosis, and bartonellosis in an apparently healthy domestic cat in Cartagena, Colombia: A case report . [PDF]

Iraqi Journal of Veterinary Sciences
Cats may have conditions that could favour trauma prone to infection by dipteran larvae and acquire zoonotic infections such as ectoparasitic infestations and hemotropic microorganisms.

Prospective serological and molecular cross-sectional study focusing on Bartonella and other blood-borne organisms in cats from Catalonia (Spain)

Parasites & Vectors, 2022
Background There is limited clinical or epidemiological knowledge regarding Bartonella infection in cats, and no serological studies have compared the presence of antibodies against different Bartonella species.

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 ...

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.

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

Genetic diversity of emerging hemotropic mycoplasmas in domestic pigs from Brazil

Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, 2020
Mycoplasma suis and Mycoplasma parvum bind strongly to erythrocytes and may cause clinical hemoplasmosis in swine, affecting several age groups. Mycoplasma spp. infected animals may be asymptomatic carriers and/or show nonspecific clinical signs. In Brazil, information on genetic diversity associated with porcine hemoplasmas (PH) has not been described

Molecular detection and genetic characterization of hemotropic mycoplasmas in goats and fleas from Thailand

Scientific Reports
Arthropod vectors play a crucial role in the transmission of hemotropic mycoplasmas, small bacteria that infect red blood cells in a wide range of animals and humans globally, leading to intravascular infections.
