Abstract: Hemotrophic mycoplasmas (hemoplasmas), Bartonella sp., Hepatozoon sp. and Cytauxzoon felis are prominent pathogens that circulate between cats and invertebrate hosts. The present study aimed to detect the presence of DNA from hemoplasmas, Bartonella sp., Hepatozoon sp. and Cytauxzoon felis, and then confirm it by means of sequencing, in blood samples from cats in Cuiabá, MT, Brazil. From February 2009 to February 2011, blood samples with added EDTA were collected from 163 cats that were being housed in four di… Show more

“…Herein, 22 cats (14.6%) were coinfected by two hemoplasmas and three (1.9%) by three hemoplasmas. In agreement with our findings, coinfections with two or three feline hemoplasma species have also been reported (SYKES et al, 2008;WILLI et al, 2006a, b;FUJIHARA et al, 2007;PETERS et al, 2008;GENTILINI et al, 2009;TASKER et al, 2003;JENSEN et al, 2001;LOBETTI;TASKER, 2004;LURIA et al, 2004;DE BORTOLI et al, 2012;BRAGA et al, 2012;MICELI et al, 2013). The present study shows that hemoplasmas circulate among domiciled and stray cats in Campo Grande, State of Mato Grosso do Sul, in central-western Brazil.…”

“…Furthermore, the molecular occurrences of M. haemofelis (12.3%), 'Candidatus M. haemominutum' (18.5%) and 'Candidatus M. turicensis' (9.2%) found among free-roaming cats housed in the CCZ of the city of Campo Grande, state of Mato Grosso do Sul, were higher than those found among free-roaming cats maintained in animal shelters in the city of Cuiabá, state of Mato Grosso (2.2; 6.7; 0.5%, respectively) (MICELI et al, 2013). The poor fitness observed among free-roaming cats, in comparison with domiciled cats, can be explained by the poor nutritional support and likely presence of coinfections in this cat population.…”
