Los micoplasmas hemotróficos (hemoplasmas) representan una amenaza para la salud animal. Durante los últimos años, la presencia de hemoplasmas alrededor del mundo se ha incrementado significativamente gracias a los recientes métodos de detección moleculares que se han desarrollado.
Overview: Haemoplasmas are haemotropic bacteria that can induce anaemia in a wide range of mammalian species. Infection in cats: Mycoplasma haemofelis is the most pathogenic of the three main feline haemoplasma species known to infect cats.
Interestingly, some Canadian studies have reported very high prevalence of haemoplasma infection in cats, with one study documenting that 46.6% of stray cats were M. haemofelis infected. 5. Outcome of Haemoplasma Infection. Mycoplasma haemofelis is the most pathogenic of the feline haemoplasma species. Acute infection often results in severe ...
Hemoplasmas are bacteria in the genus Mycoplasma that lack cell walls and attach to erythrocytes of target hosts, potentially causing host immune-based anemia. Many infections are asymptomatic. Diagnosis can be based on microscopy or PCR. Antibiotics and supportive care are the usual treatments.
Hemotropic Mycoplasmas (Hemoplasmosis, Feline Infectious Anemia, Hemobartonellosis) Hemoplasmas (previously known as Haemobartonella and Eperythrozoon) are parasites of red blood cells that can cause hemolytic anemia in domestic cats. The anemia can range from mild to severe.
Cause: hemotropic bacteria known as hemoplasmas (Mycoplasma haemofelis; Candidatus Mycoplasma haemominutum, 'Candidatus Mycoplasma turicensis'). The protozoal parasite (Babesia felis) causes similar disease in some parts of the world (eg South Africa).
cats and there is a strong association between hemolytic anemia in cats and Mycoplasma haemofelis , as well as a weaker association with ‘Candidatus Mycoplasma haemominutum’.3 Other vector-borne agents that are thought to be associated with anemia in cats include Anaplasma phagocytophilum, Anaplasma platys, Babesia
