Molecular detection and characterisation of Mycoplasma species in community owned dogs of Kerala, a South Indian State [PDF]

Veterinární Medicína
Haemotropic mycoplasmas (haemoplasmas) are obligate epierythrocytic bacteria that infect a wide range of vertebrate hosts. The molecular characterisation of Mycoplasma organisms in dogs has not previously been attempted from India.

Molecular characterization and phylogenetic analysis of hemotropic Mycoplasma in cats in fars province, Iran, and its association with blood groups and hematological alterations [PDF]

BMC Veterinary Research
Blood group antigens are considered to be potential determinants influencing host susceptibility to infectious agents, possibly functioning as cellular receptors that may facilitate bacterial, viral, and protozoal attachment—including Mycoplasma species.

Amplification of Mycoplasma haemofelis DNA by a PCR for point-of-care use. [PDF]

J Vet Diagn Invest, 2018
We compared a qualitative in-clinic (IC)-PCR for the detection of Mycoplasma haemofelis DNA with the results of a commercial qualitative laboratory-based, conventional (c)PCR. In order to determine the specificity of both tests, Bartonella spp. samples were included. Forty-three previously tested blood samples with known PCR results for hemoplasmas and

Identification, bioinformatics analyses, and expression of immunoreactive antigens of Mycoplasma haemofelis. [PDF]

Clin Vaccine Immunol, 2011
ABSTRACTMycoplasma haemofelisinfection frequently causes anemia in cats. Despite an intense immune response and/or antibiotic treatment, cats often remain asymptomatic carriers following infection. Our hypothesis is that detection of antibodies toM. haemofelisis a sensitive approach for identifying infected cats, particularly carriers.

Hemoplasma prevalence and hematological abnormalities associated with infection in three different cat populations from Southern Brazil

Revista Brasileira de Parasitologia Veterinária, 2014
Three hemoplasma species are recognized in domestic cats: Mycoplasma haemofelis, ‘Candidatus Mycoplasma haemominutum’ and ‘Candidatus Mycoplasma turicensis’. We report the prevalence and hematological abnormalities of hemoplasma infection in 369 domestic

Haemotropic species in pet cats in Latvia: a study, phylogenetic analysis and clinical case report

Journal of Feline Medicine and Surgery Open Reports, 2021
Objectives The aim of this study was to evaluate whether haemotropic Mycoplasma species are detected in pet cats in Latvia, to perform a phylogenetic analysis of the detected pathogens and to report a clinical case of feline infectious anaemia.

Passive immunization does not provide protection against experimental infection with Mycoplasma haemofelis. [PDF]

Vet Res, 2016
Mycoplasma haemofelis (Mhf) is the most pathogenic feline hemotropic mycoplasma. Cats infected with Mhf that clear bacteremia are protected from Mhf reinfection, but the mechanisms of protective immunity are unresolved. In the present study we investigated whether the passive transfer of antibodies from Mhf-recovered cats to naïve recipient cats ...

Molecular Characterization of Hemoparasites and Hemoplasmas Infecting Domestic Cats of Southern India

Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 2021
In the present study, 111 blood samples were collected from apparently healthy cats belonging to four districts of Kerala, southern India, and they were investigated for the presence of hemoparasites and hemoplasmas by light microscopic examination and ...

Clinical findings, treatment and outcome in cats diagnosed with precursor‐targeted immune‐mediated anaemia in a referral hospital in the UK: 30 cases (2010–2021)

Veterinary Record Open, Volume 10, Issue 2, December 2023., 2023
Abstract Aims This retrospective study aimed to report clinical findings, treatment response and survival in cats diagnosed with precursor‐targeted immune‐mediated anaemia (PIMA) in a referral hospital in the UK. Methods Feline cases diagnosed with presumed PIMA between January 2010 and February 2021 were retrospectively recruited. Signalment, clinical

Expert opinion on the identification, risk assessment, and mitigation of microorganisms and parasites relevant to xenotransplantation products from pigs

Xenotransplantation, Volume 30, Issue 5, September/October 2023., 2023
Abstract Xenotransplantation has the potential to address shortages of organs available for clinical transplantation, but concerns exist regarding potential risks posed by porcine microorganisms and parasites (MP) to the health of human recipients. In this study, a risk‐based framework was developed, and expert opinion was elicited to evaluate porcine ...
