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 ...

Antigen specificity of the humoral immune response to Mycoplasma haemofelis infection. [PDF]

Clin Vaccine Immunol, 2010
ABSTRACTThe aim of the present study was to characterize the antigenic specificity of the humoral immune response made by cats infected with the feline hemoplasma,Mycoplasma haemofelis.A crudeM. haemofelisantigen preparation was prepared from red blood cells (RBCs) collected from a cat at the time of a high level of bacteremia.

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 ...

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.
