Feline blood donation via cephalic intravenous catheter: A novel method. [PDF]
Vet RecAbstract Background Feline jugular blood donation requires heavy sedation or a very compliant cat. Donation using an intravenous catheter requires less restraint and potentially decreases stress. Methods This was an observational study of feline blood donors at a veterinary hospital between February and June 2023.

Acute phase response to Mycoplasma haemofelis and 'Candidatus Mycoplasma haemominutum' infection in FIV-infected and non-FIV-infected cats. [PDF]
Vet J, 2012 The pathogenicity of Haemoplasma spp. in cats varies with ‘Candidatus Mycoplasma haemominutum’ (CMhm) causing subclinical infection while Mycoplasma haemofelis (Mhf) often induces haemolytic anaemia.

Journal of Veterinary Medical Science, 2012 The intergenic spacer region between the 16S and 23S rRNA genes of mycoplasmas has been used for a genetic marker for identification of the species. Here we show the intergenic spacer regions of two hemotropic mycoplasmas, Mycoplasma haemofelis and 'Candidatus Mycoplasma haemobos (synonym: 'C. M. haemobovis')' are also useful for classification of this

Feline Vector-Borne Diseases and Their Possible Association with Hematological Abnormalities in Cats from Midwestern Brazil [PDF]
MicroorganismsAmong the parasitic and infectious diseases affecting cats, those caused by vector-borne pathogens deserve attention due to their ability to cause nonspecific clinical signs and clinicopathological abnormalities. We studied the presence of Cytauxzoon spp.
