Molecular detection of hemotrophic mycoplasmas among domiciled and free-roaming cats in Campo Grande, state of Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil

Abstract: Hemoplasmas are bacteria living in feline red blood cells. Feline hemoplasmosis is frequently associated with old male cats that have access to the streets. This study aimed to detect the presence of hemoplasma speciess in domiciled and free-roaming cats in Campo Grande, state of Mato Grosso do Sul (MS), Brazil, using molecular techniques. Between January 2013 and April 2013, EDTA-whole blood samples were collected from 151 domestic cats (65 free-roaming and 86 domiciled cats). Samples were subjected to PCR as… Show more

“…In the state of Mato Grosso do Sul (MS), which is located in the central-western region of Brazil, only one survey of hemoplasmas mycoplasmas has been conducted so far, among cats (SANTIS et al, 2014). Therefore, the aim of the present study was to assess the occurrence of hemotropic mycoplasmas among dogs in Campo Grande, MS, Brazil, and to identify the main epidemiological features associated with the positivity to these pathogens.…”

“…A prevalência geral foi similar àquelas encontradas nos estados brasileiros do RJ (Macieira et al, 2008), MA (Braga eta l., 2012), SP (de Bortoli et al, 2012), MT (Miceli et al, 2013) e em estudos do Reino Unido (Tasker et al, 2003a) e Itália (Gentilini et al, 2009). Porém, estudos conduzidos em gatos não domiciliados de outros estados brasileiros Santis et al, 2014;, Portugal (Martínez-Díaz et al, 2013) e Itália (Spada et al, 2014) reportaram prevalências maiores do que a encontrada no presente estudo.…”

“…Contudo, poucos estudos reportaram achados hematológicos ou analise filogenética. Naqueles em que estudo filogenético foi incluído, apenas pequenas sequencias do gene 16S rRNA (<600pb) foram usadas (Andre et al, 2014;Miceli et al, 2013;Santis et al, 2014) ou as sequencias não foram disponibilizadas no GenBank .…”
