Abstract: Hemoplasmas are bacteria that infect erythrocytes, attaching to the red blood cell. There is a need for more reports of hemoplasma infection prevalence and molecular characterization among cats in Brazil since there are only few published reports. The present work aimed to detect and molecularly characterize the presence of hemotrophic mycoplasmas in domestic cats with outdoor access from São Luís, Maranhão, Brazil. Twenty cats (10%) were positive for Candidatus M. haemominutum, five (2.5%) for M. haemofelis, … Show more

“…Although hemoplasma infection has been documented in cats in several regions of Brazil (DE MORAIS et al, 2007;MACIEIRA et al, 2008;SANTOS et al, 2009;BRAGA et al, 2012;DE BORTOLI et al, 2012;MICELI et al, 2013), few reports clarifying actual epidemiology have yet been published and São Paulo (ANDRÉ et al, 2011).…”

“…Previous studies conducted in Brazil have focused on different cat populations, such as animals maintained in animal shelters MICELI et al, 2013), domiciled cats with outdoor access (BRAGA et al, 2012), cats subjected to a spaying/neutering program (DE BORTOLI et al, 2012) and cats attended at veterinary clinics (MACIEIRA et al, 2008). The molecular occurrences of M. haemofelis (10.5%), 'Candidatus M. haemominutum' (12.8%) and 'Candidatus M. turicensis' (10.5%) found in the present study among domiciled cats subjected to a spaying/neutering program in the CCZ of Campo Grande were higher than those found by de Bortoli et al (2012) (2.2%; 4.3%; 2.2%), who sampled a similar population of cats in the city of Jaboticabal, state of São Paulo.…”

“…A parasitemia é intermitente e os micoplasmas nem sempre são identificados no esfregaço sanguíneo. O diagnóstico é feito através do histórico, sinais clínicos apresentados e do exame parasitológico através de ensaios baseados na PCR (BRAGA et al, 2012 (BIONDO et al, 2009;ANDRÉ et al, 2011).…”
