The cell wall-less rickettsia Eperythrozoon wenyonii is a Mycoplasma [PDF]

open access: yesFEMS Microbiology Letters, 2006
The 16S rRNA gene of Eperythrozoon (Haemobartonella) wenyonii, a wall-less hemotrophic prokaryote currently classified as a rickettsia, was sequenced to determine the relationship of this organism to other wall-less prokaryotes. Comparison to the GenBank data base showed that this hemotrophic organism is a Mycoplasma (family Mollicutes).

Galactocerebroside biosynthesis pathways of Mycoplasma species: an antigen triggering Guillain–Barré–Stohl syndrome

open access: yesMicrobial Biotechnology, Volume 14, Issue 3, Page 1201-1211, May 2021., 2021
Mycoplasma pneumoniae is a preceding factor of Guillain‐Barré‐Stohl syndrome, triggered by an autoimmune reaction against a glycolipid named galactocerebroside, produced by the bacterium. In this work, we reconstruct the pathway and identify the functional protein domain responsible for the synthesis of galactocerebroside in Mycoplasmas.

4 Survey of Mycoplasma Wenyonii Infection in a Texas Beef Cattle Herd [PDF]

open access: yesJ Anim Sci, 2023
Abstract Mycoplasma wenyonii is hemotrophic bacteria known to cause mild anemia, localized edema, and pyrexia in infected cattle. It has been previously detected in cattle herds across the world, including United States beef herd. Mode of transmission, prevalence, and a full profile of symptoms associated with this species of bacteria ...

A rare case of equine Haemotropic Mycoplasma infection in Nigeria [PDF]

open access: yes, 2021
Equine haemotropic mycoplasmosis (EHM) is a condition rarely reported worldwide. A horse presented with unspecific clinical findings and non-response to treatment to the common and endemic haemoparasitic and bacterial infections, warranted a thorough ...

First Molecular Evidence of Pathogens in Fleas Collected from Dogs in Northern Vietnam

open access: yesPathogens, 2021
Fleas are considered as hosts for a wide range of pathogens that cause emerging and re-emerging zoonotic diseases worldwide. Data on fleas and flea-borne pathogens (FBPs) in the international literature are limited in Vietnam.

Novel hemotropic mycoplasmas are widespread and genetically diverse in vampire bats [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Bats (Order: Chiroptera) have been widely studied as reservoir hosts for viruses of concern for human and animal health. However, whether bats are equally competent hosts of non-viral pathogens such as bacteria remains an important open question. Here,

First molecular evidence of bovine hemoplasma species (Mycoplasma spp.) in water buffalo and dairy cattle herds in Cuba

open access: yesParasites & Vectors, 2019
Background Hemotropic mycoplasmas (aka hemoplasmas) are small bacteria which cause infectious anemia in several mammalian species including humans. Information on hemoplasma infections in Cuban bovines remains scarce and no studies applying molecular ...

First Molecular Detection and Characterization of Hemotropic Mycoplasma Species in Cattle and Goats from Uganda

open access: yesAnimals, 2020
Hemoplasmas (hemotropic mycoplasmas) are small pleomorphic bacteria that parasitize the surface of red blood cells of several mammalian species including cattle, goats, and humans, causing infectious anemia.
