Feline leukemia virus outbreak in the critically endangered Iberian lynx ( Lynx pardinus ): high-throughput sequencing of envelope variable region A and experimental transmission [PDF]
The Iberian lynx is the most endangered felid species. During winter/spring 2006/7, a feline leukemia virus (FeLV) outbreak of unexpected virulence killed about 2/3 of the infected Iberian lynxes.

Update on Feline Hemoplasmosis [PDF]
“The wall-less, hemotropic, mycoplasma species Mycoplasma haemofelis, “Candidatus Mycoplasma turicensis” and, to a lesser extent, “Candidatus Mycoplasma haemominutum” have the potential to induce clinical hemolytic anemia in infected cats.

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

Immunodeficiencies caused by infectious diseases. [PDF]
Immunodeficiencies caused by infectious agents may result from disruption of normal host barriers or dysregulation of cellular immunity, the latter serving to promote survival of the infectious agent through immune evasion.

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.

Use of pan-hemoplasma PCR for screening horses highly exposed to tick bites from southern Brazil [PDF]
Mycoplasma sp. are hemotropic bacteria of red blood cells and the causative agent of hemoplasmosis. Diagnosis of infection is reached by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and real-time PCR (qPCR) of the 16S RNA gene of this bacteria.

High diversity, novel genotypes, and vertical transmission of hemotropic Mycoplasma in micromammals [PDF]
Hemotropic mycoplasmas (hemoplasmas) are emerging zoonotic pathogens. Micromammals have received little attention as hosts for hemoplasmas despite their ubiquitous presence, high population abundances, and close association with humans.
