Widespread infection with hemotropic mycoplasmas in bats in Spain, including a hemoplasma closely related to 'Candidatus Mycolasma hemohominis' [PDF]
, 2021 Molecular analyses of blood samples revealed infection with hemoplasmas in 97% of 31 cave bats captured in three caves in North-Eastern Spain. The characterization of 1250 bp of the 16S rRNA gene in 29 of the positive bats identified two different groups

Hemophagocytic syndrome in a cat with Mycoplasma haemofelis infection
Veterinary Clinical Pathology, Volume 52, Issue 2, Page 320-323, June 2023., 2023 Abstract A six‐year‐old, castrated male domestic shorthair cat was presented for a week‐long history of lethargy, acute anorexia, and adipsia. On presentation, the cat was weak with pale mucous membranes, open‐mouth breathing, and mild popliteal lymphadenomegaly.

Disease potential of feline leukemia virus (FeLV) collected from Iberian lynxes (Lynx pardinus): low pathogenicity in experimentally infected specified pathogen-free domestic cats [PDF]
, 2010 The Iberian lynx (Lynx pardinus) is considered the most endangered felid species in the world, less than 250 animals left. The narrow genetic basis may contribute to render this species particularly susceptible to infectious diseases.
