“…In Denmark it was reported that the prevalence of CMhm was 14.9%, and the prevalence of Mhf was 1.5% in cats (22). The prevalence of hemoplasma was reported to be 17.7% (13) in Japan, 13.8% (2) and 25.8% (17) in Brazil, 15.1% (28) in Chile, 13.2% (21) and 18.9% (12) in Northern Italy, 10.6% (10) in Spain, and 17.2% (23) in Serbia. In most of the studies, it was reported that the most frequently isolated species was CMhm, which was usually followed by Mhf.…”

“…In particular, the fact that free-roaming cats are more likely to have contact with cats infected with hemoplasma due to their aggressive behaviors may lead to a higher rate of detecting hemoplasma species in male cats (11,14,24). Makino et al (17) reported that male cats were at a higher risk of being infected with hemoplasma infections. Vergara et al (28) reported that 67.2% of the cats with at least one of the hemoplasma species were male cats, and 53.4% of them were cats having contact with the outside.…”

The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of hemoplasma species in cats by real-time PCR and to determine the distribution of the species. Furthermore, it was aimed to evaluate factors that are thought to be important in the epidemiology of the disease in cats statistically. For this purpose, blood samples from 246 cats were examined for Candidatus Mycoplasma haemominitum (CMhm), Mycoplasma haemofelis (Mhf) and Candidatus Mycoplasma turicensis (CMt) by real-time PCR. CMhm was detected in 20 (8.13%), CMt was detected in 3 (1.22%), and Mhf was found in 2 (0.81%) of 246 cats. At least one of the hemoplasma species was detected in 21 (8.54%) of 246 cats, and two different hemoplasma species were detected in 4 (19.05%) of 21 cats diagnosed with hemoplasma. The relationship between PCR positivity, the contact of cats with other cats (p = 0.02) and the detection of the intraoral wound (p = 0.001) was found to be statistically significant. The statistical significance of contact with other cats in the formation of the disease was revealed. The strong relationship between the presence of intraoral lesions and hemoplasma infection was revealed for the first time. Studies involving epidemiological data and their relationship with clinical findings should be continued.

“…Total blood DNA extraction of the samples was accomplished with a phenol/chloroform protocol. 3 PCR was performed for each of the three microorganisms according to Makino et al 4 The product of a positive PCR was purified using GFX PCR DNA and a Gel Band Purification Kit (GE Healthcare UK Limited, Amersham, UK). It was then automatically sequenced (ABI 3500 Genetic Analyzer, Applied Biosystems, Foster City, USA) using the BigDye Terminator Cycle Sequencing Ready Reaction Kit (Applied Biosystems).…”
