Molecular survey of hemotropic mycoplasmas in crab-eating raccoons (Procyon cancrivorus) in southern Brazil [PDF]
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.

Immune‐mediated haemolytic anaemia with severe thrombocytopenia in a Pembroke Welsh Corgi
Abstract An 8‐year‐old, female, spayed Pembroke Welsh Corgi presented for a 3‐day history of worsening lethargy and pale pink mucous membranes. Hematological analysis revealed a normocytic, normochromic, regenerative anaemia, positive saline agglutination and marked thrombocytopenia, supportive of a diagnosis of immune‐mediated haemolytic anaemia and ...
