Molecular characterization of the uncultivatable hemotropic bacterium Mycoplasma haemofelis [PDF]

Veterinary Research, 2011
Mycoplasma haemofelis is a pathogenic feline hemoplasma. Despite its importance, little is known about its metabolic pathways or mechanism of pathogenicity due to it being uncultivatable. The recently sequenced M. haemofelis str.

Diagnostic Accuracy of Blood Cytology and Conventional PCR Using Universal Primers for Detecting Haemoplasma Infection in Cats and Pigs of Thailand. [PDF]

Vet Med Sci
ABSTRACT Background Haemoplasma (haemotropic Mycoplasma sp.) is an aetiological agent of infectious anaemia in several mammals, including cats and pigs. Blood cytology lacks sensitivity for detecting this infection, and information regarding its accuracy in Thailand is lacking. Thus, PCR has emerged as the test of choice.
