First PCR-Confirmed Case of Feline Hemoplasmosis in Bosnia and Herzegovina with a Long-Term Follow-Up [PDF]

Veterinary Sciences
Hemotropic mycoplasmas are Gram-negative bacteria and are recognized as primary causative agents of feline infectious anemia, with a worldwide distribution and variable pathogenicity.

Molecular Detection and Characterization of Hemotropic Mycoplasma in Assamese Macaques (Macaca assamensis) of Northern Thailand

Veterinary Medicine International
Hemotropic mycoplasmas, also known as hemoplasmas, are parasitic bacteria that infect red blood cells, potentially leading to varying degrees of anemia across numerous mammalian species, including nonhuman primates.

High prevalence of vector-borne protozoa and bacteria in dogs from Chad determined using a targeted next-generation sequencing approach [PDF]

Scientific Reports
Data on vector-borne pathogens infecting dogs from sub-Saharan Africa is limited. In this study, we assessed the prevalence of VBPs, their associated risk factors, and pathogen interactions in domestic dogs.

Molecular evidence of hemotropic mycoplasmas in goats from Cebu, Philippines. [PDF]

J Vet Med Sci, 2019
Hemotropic mycoplasma (hemoplasma), a neglected vector-borne pathogen in goats, causes extensive economic damage to farmers due to production losses. In this study, 107/295 (36.27%) goats sampled from 4 farms (Barili, Danao City, Dumanjug and Minglanilla) in Cebu, Philippines tested positive for PCR targeting the 16S rRNA gene of Mycoplasma.

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

Epidemiol Infect, 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.

‘Candidatus Mycoplasma haemoalbiventris’ and tick-borne pathogens screening in white-eared opossums (Didelphis albiventris) from Curitiba and Foz do Iguaçu Cities, Paraná State, southern Brazil

Revista Brasileira de Parasitologia Veterinária, 2021
Hemoplasmas are epierythrocytic bacteria that infect mammals. ‘Candidatus Mycoplasma haemoalbiventris’ was detected in white-eared opossums (Didelphis albiventris) from southern and central-western Brazil.

Complete Genome Sequence of Mycoplasma haemofelis, a Hemotropic Mycoplasma [PDF]

Journal of Bacteriology, 2011
Here, we present the genome sequence of Mycoplasma haemofelis strain Langford 1, representing the first hemotropic mycoplasma (hemoplasma) species to be completely sequenced and annotated. Originally isolated from a cat with hemolytic anemia, this strain induces severe hemolytic anemia when inoculated into specific-pathogen-free-derived cats.

Prevalence and phylogeny of Chlamydiae and hemotropic mycoplasma species in captive and free-living bats

BMC Microbiology, 2020
Background Bats are hosts for a variety of microorganisms, however, little is known about the presence of Chlamydiales and hemotropic mycoplasmas. This study investigated 475 captive and free-living bats from Switzerland, Germany, and Costa Rica for ...

Molecular characterization of the uncultivatable hemotropic bacterium Mycoplasma haemofelis [PDF]

Veterinary Research, 2011
Mycoplasma haemofelis is a pathogenic feline hemoplasma. Despite its importance, little is known about its metabolic pathways or mechanism of pathogenicity due to it being uncultivatable. The recently sequenced M. haemofelis str. Langford 1 genome was analysed and compared to those of other available hemoplasma genomes.Analysis showed that in ...

Hemotropic Mycoplasma and Bartonella Species Diversity in Free-Roaming Canine and Feline from Luanda, Angola

Pathogens, 2021
Free-roaming dogs and cats represent potential reservoirs for zoonotic vector-borne pathogens shedding to the human population. Given the health impact of these pathogens, we searched free-roaming dogs and cats included in an animal population control ...
