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

Prevalence of Hemoplasma spp. positivity in potential feline blood donors and study of the association with selected clinical variables

Journal of Veterinary Internal Medicine, Volume 38, Issue 4, Page 2151-2157, July/August 2024.
Abstract Background Hemotropic mycoplasmas, hemoplasmas, are epi‐erythrocytic parasitic bacteria that can be transmitted through blood transfusion. Objectives To study the prevalence of hemoplasma infection of potential feline blood donors and investigate the association between Hemoplasma spp.

Human Coinfection with Bartonella henselae and Two Hemotropic Mycoplasma Variants Resembling Mycoplasma ovis [PDF]

Journal of Clinical Microbiology, 2010
ABSTRACT Two variants of an organism resembling the ovine hemoplasma, Mycoplasma ovis , were detected by PCR in blood samples from a veterinarian in Texas. Coinfection with similar variants has been described in sheep. This represents the first report of human infection with this organism. The veterinarian

Romiplostim for treatment of thrombocytopenia in dogs: A retrospective assessment and clinical outcomes

Journal of Veterinary Internal Medicine, Volume 38, Issue 4, Page 2158-2164, July/August 2024.
Abstract Background Romiplostim, a thrombopoietin analog, is commonly used to treat immune‐mediated thrombocytopenia (ITP) in humans, but its use in dogs remains limited. Objectives Evaluate the effects and adverse events of romiplostim administration in dogs with thrombocytopenia caused by various underlying diseases.

A prospective cohort study to identify clinical diagnostic and prognostic markers of primary immune thrombocytopenia in dogs

Journal of Veterinary Internal Medicine, Volume 38, Issue 2, Page 1022-1034, March/April 2024.
Abstract Background Primary immune thrombocytopenia (pITP) in dogs presents a diagnostic challenge, and clinical markers of severity are lacking. Objectives Identify clinicopathologic features that differentiate pITP from secondary ITP (sITP) and markers related to bleeding severity, transfusion, and survival of dogs with pITP.

Obstructive Hydrocephalus and Cardiomyopathy Secondary to Disseminated Protothecosis in a Boxer Dog

Case Reports in Veterinary Medicine, Volume 2024, Issue 1, 2024.
Canine protothecosis is a rare disease caused by saprophytic unicellular achlorophyllous aerobic algae that are ubiquitous in the environment. We report a novel case of neurological and cardiological manifestations associated with disseminated protothecosis.

Galleria mellonella Invertebrate Model Mirrors the Pathogenic Potential of Mycoplasma alligatoris within the Natural Host

Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, Volume 2024, Issue 1, 2024.
Most mycoplasmal infections result in chronic, clinically silent disease. In direct contrast, Mycoplasma alligatoris elicits a fulminant, multisystem disease in the natural host, Alligator mississippiensis (American alligator). The goals of the study were to better understand the disease in the natural host and to determine if the invertebrate model G.
