Evaluating the association between blood genotype or phenotype and haemoplasma infection in UK and Italian cats

Veterinary Record, Volume 192, Issue 12, 17 June–1 July 2023., 2023
Abstract Background In humans, blood groups are associated with varying prevalence of infections. The aim of this study was to determine if associations exist between the feline AB blood group system and haemoplasma infection. Methods Data from two studies were combined.

Molecular survey of hemotropic mycoplasmas in crab-eating raccoons (Procyon cancrivorus) in southern Brazil [PDF]

Revista Brasileira de Parasitologia Veterinária, 2023
Hemoplasmas are non-cultivable bacterial parasites of erythrocytes that infect domestic and wild animals, as well as humans. Their means of transmission and pathogenesis remain contentious issues and difficult to evaluate in wild animals.

Epidemiology of a Hybrid Swarm: Evidence of 11 Feline Infectious Agents Circulating in a Population of Sympatric European Wildcat Hybrids and Free‐Living Domestic Cats, in Scotland

Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, Volume 2023, Issue 1, 2023., 2023
Hybridisation between wild and domestic species poses a serious challenge to conservation management and can, potentially, lead to extinction. Alongside it, disease transmission will inevitably occur. However, the link between these two phenomena has historically been neglected.

Prevalence, Distribution, and Factors Associated with Vector‐Borne Pathogen Infections in Pet Dogs from Different Geoclimatic Zones in Sri Lanka

Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, Volume 2023, Issue 1, 2023., 2023
Vector‐borne pathogens (VBPs) cause significant diseases in dogs in the tropics. In Sri Lanka, the scarce availability of previous studies on canine VBPs has hampered an accurate evaluation of their prevalence in pet dog populations. In this study, we collected demographic, clinical, and environmental data together with whole blood from 423 pet dogs ...

Mycoplasma haemofelis em gato - relato de caso [PDF]

Pubvet, 2015
Mycoplasma haemofelis is a potentially zoonotic pleomorphic bacterium that infects the erythrocytes of several domestic species. The present report describes the case of a female, 2-year-old, unspayed Persian cat with a history of anorexia, mild dehydration, prostration, body condition score between 1 and 2, lethargy, enlarged mandibular and popliteal ...

Hemotropic Mycoplasma and Bartonella Species Diversity in Free-Roaming Canine and Feline from Luanda, Angola

Pathogens, 2021
Free-roaming dogs and cats represent potential reservoirs for zoonotic vector-borne pathogens shedding to the human population. Given the health impact of these pathogens, we searched free-roaming dogs and cats included in an animal population control ...

Occurrence and bacterial loads of Bartonella and haemotropic Mycoplasma species in privately owned cats and dogs and their fleas from East and Southeast Asia

Zoonoses and Public Health, Volume 69, Issue 6, Page 704-720, September 2022., 2022
Abstract Bartonella spp. and haemoplasmas are pathogens of veterinary and medical interest with ectoparasites mainly involved in their transmission. This study aimed at molecular detection of Bartonella spp. and haemoplasmas in cats (n = 93) and dogs (n = 96), and their related fleas (n = 189) from countries in East and Southeast Asia.

Mycoplasma haemofelis and 'Candidatus Mycoplasma haemominutum' in domestic cats from Pelotas, RS: molecular detection and risk factors. [PDF]

Braz J Microbiol
Hemotropic mycoplasmas are small, pleomorphic, gram-negative, epierithrocytic bacteria that infect a wide variety of animals, including domestic cats. These microorganisms cause the disease known as feline hemotropic mycoplasmosis (MHF), also called feline infectious anemia. The objective of the study was to use PCR assays based on amplification of 16S

Associations between presence of Bartonella species deoxyribonucleic acid and complete blood cell count and serum biochemical changes in client‐owned cats

Journal of Veterinary Internal Medicine, Volume 36, Issue 2, Page 532-540, March 2022., 2022
Abstract Background Infection with Bartonella species is common in cats but reported effects of bacteremia on laboratory variables differ. Objectives Evaluate for associations between Bartonella bacteremia and CBC and serum biochemical changes in sick and healthy cats throughout the United States. Animals A total of 3964 client‐owned cats.

Consequences of producing DNA gyrase from a synthetic gyrBA operon in Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium

Molecular Microbiology, Volume 115, Issue 6, Page 1410-1429, June 2021., 2021
DNA gyrase is an essential topoisomerase in bacteria that plays critical roles in the management of nucleoid structure, DNA replication, transcription and recombination. It is also a major drug target. The gyrA and gyrB genes that encode the two subunits of DNA gyrase are located at widely separated sites on the chromosome of Salmonella and other ...
