Hemotropic mycoplasmas in bats from forest fragments, state of Paraná, southern Brazil

Semina: Ciências Agrárias, 2022
The order Chiroptera is the second largest group of mammals with bats being identified as reservoir of several viral zoonoses, although, little is known about their role in other groups of pathogens, including hemotropic Mycoplasma spp.

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

Revista Brasileira de Parasitologia Veterinária, 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.

A molecular study of hemotropic mycoplasmas (hemoplasmas) in cats in Iran [PDF]

Veterinary Clinical Pathology, 2014
BackgroundThree feline hemoplasma species are recognized: Mycoplasma haemofelis, ‘Candidatus Mycoplasma haemominutum’, and ‘Candidatus Mycoplasma turicensis’. These species can cause anemia in cats and have a worldwide distribution.ObjectivesThere was no previous information on hemotropic mycoplasma spp in cats in Iran and the Middle East. Accordingly,

High prevalence and genetic diversity of hemoplasmas in bats and bat ectoparasites from China

One Health, 2023
Hemoplasmas can cause severe hemolytic anemia in humans. To explore the genetic diversity and the potential transmission routes of hemoplasmas among bat population, bats and bat-ectoparasites including bat-flies, bat-mites, and bat-ticks were collected ...

Prevalence of Hemotropic Mycoplasmas in Healthy and Unhealthy Cats and Dogs in Spain [PDF]

Journal of Veterinary Diagnostic Investigation, 2010
The aims of the present study were to determine the prevalence of hemoplasmas in cats and dogs from the Barcelona area of Spain with the use of species-specific quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) assays and to evaluate any associations between hemoplasma infection, clinical presentation, and vector-borne infections.

Hemotropic Mycoplasma spp. in Aquatic Mammals, Amazon Basin, Brazil

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2022
Hemotropic Mycoplasma spp. (hemoplasmas) are uncultivable bacteria that infect mammals, including humans. We detected a potentially novel hemoplasma species in blood samples from wild river dolphins in the Amazon River Basin, Brazil. Further investigation could determine pathogenicity and zoonotic potential of the detected hemoplasma.

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.

Molecular survey and phylogenetic analysis of Bartonella sp., Coxiella sp., and hemoplamas in pudu (Pudu puda) from Chile: first report of Bartonella henselae in a wild ungulate species

Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 2023
IntroductionRecent evidence shows a high diversity of infectious agents in wildlife that represent a threat to human, domestic, and wild animal health. In Chile, wild populations of the most common cervid species, pudu (Pudu puda), have been reported as ...
