“…Os hemoplasmas felinos eram conhecidos como isolados distintos (Ohio e California) de Haemobartonella felis, porém, após análises moleculares do gene 16S do RNA ribossomal (16S rRNA), foram alocados na classe Mollicutes e ordem Mycoplasmatales, sendo renomeados para o gênero Mycoplasma, espécies M. haemofelis e 'Candidatus M. haemominutum ', respectivamente (FOLEY;PEDERSEN, 2001;NEIMARK et al, 2001). Os hemoplasmas são parasitos simples, com um genoma reduzido e que replicam por fissão binária.…”

“…At least 3 species infect cats: Mycoplasma haemofelis (Mhf) and 'Candidatus Mycoplasma haemominutum' (Mhm), as well as 'Candidatus Mycoplasma turicensis' (Mtc), a new species that was recently described in cats in Switzerland. 5,10,11,18 The latter species appears to be present in cats in North America, as well as an organism related to 'Candidatus M. haematoparvum' (Mhp), which was first identified in dogs. 12,13 Mhf is capable of causing severe anemia in cats, whereas Mhm has yet to be associated with disease in immunocompetent cats.…”

Detection of Mixed Infections with “CandidatusMycoplasma Haemominutum” andMycoplasma HaemofelisUsing Real-Time TaqMan Polymerase Chain Reaction

Abstract. The objective of this study was to evaluate the use of real-time TaqMan PCR assays for detection of coinfections with ''Candidatus Mycoplasma haemominutum'' (Mhm), and Mycoplasma haemofelis (Mhf), in vitro and over time in experimentally infected cats. First, the ability of each real-time PCR assay to detect and quantify mixed infections was determined in vitro by testing mixtures of plasmids containing Mhm and Mhf 16S rDNA with each assay. Subsequently, 4 specific pathogen-free (SPF) cats, 2 of which were splenectomized, were inoculated with blood from a cat infected with both Mhm and Mhf. Sixteen blood samples were then collected from each cat over a 55-day period. Each of the 64 postinoculation samples was tested using both conventional polymerase chain reaction (cPCR) and real-time PCR for the 16S rRNA gene of each organism. When applied to mixtures of plasmid DNA from each species, the results of quantitation with each of the real-time PCR assays approximately reflected the number of plasmid copies present. Forty-nine of 64 post-inoculation samples (77%) were positive using both cPCR and real-time PCR, 4 (6%) were positive using cPCR only, and 3 (5%) were positive using real-time PCR only. Both organisms were detected in 23 samples using real-time PCR. Mixed infections were not detected using cPCR. The size of the corresponding cPCR products suggested infection with Mhm in 4 and Mhf in 18 of these samples. The use of multiple separate real-time PCR assays rather than cPCR alone should thus be considered for epidemiologic studies of hemoplasmosis in cats.

“…Contrariwise, haemoplasmas are cell wall-less uncultivated epicellular bacteria that attach to red blood cells surface of a wide range of animals, including humans (Neimark et al, 2001;Maggi et al, 2013b). Among the haemoplasmas, Mycoplasma ovis, Mycoplasma wenyonii and 'Candidatus Mycoplasma haemobos' have been recognized as pathogens of domestic ruminants worldwide.…”

Molecular detection of Bartonella species and haemoplasmas in wild African buffalo (Syncerus caffer) in Mozambique, Africa

et al. 2018

The African buffalo (Syncerus caffer), a mammal species whose population is declining, can play a role as a reservoir or carrier of a wide number of arthropod-borne pathogens. Translocation procedures have been used as an alternative approach for species conservation. However, the veterinary aspects of this sort of procedures are extremely important to minimize the impact on animal health. In order to detectBartonellaand haemoplasmas, two important group of bacterial that have an impact in both human and animal health, EDTA whole-blood samples were screened for the presence of these bacterial pathogens by molecular techniques. As a result, a molecular occurrence of 4.1 and 15.4% forBartonellaspp. and haemoplasmas, respectively, was reported among 97 wild buffaloes sampled during a translocation procedure from Marromeu to Gorongosa Reserve, Mozambique. Additionally, phylogenetic analyses of the obtained sequences were conducted. At least, three bovine-associated pathogens, namelyB. bovis,M. wenyoniiand ‘CandidatusM. haemobos’, as well as a probably newBartonellagenotype/species were detected inS. caffer.Further studies are needed in order to determine whether these bacterial species may cause impact in buffaloes and other sympatric ruminant species living in the release site.
