This study aimed to elucidate the epidemiological status of hemoplasma infection and investigate the interaction between Theileria orientalis and hemoplasmas in Japanese Black breeding cows raised in the Kyushu and Okinawa regions. Blood samples were collected from 400 cows from 80 different farms...

Hemotrophic mycoplasmas (HMs) are associated with anemia and other disease complexes in a wide range of livestock and wild animals. Two bovine HM species have been identified to date, i.e. Mycoplasma wenyonii and 'Candidatus Mycoplasma haemobos'. The study aim was to develop quantitative real-time...

Background: The significance of hemotrophic mycoplasma in cattle remains unclear. Especially in Europe, their epidemiological parameters as well as pathophysiological influence on cows are lacking. The objectives of this study were: (1) to describe the prevalence of 'Candidatus Mycoplasma haemobos' ...

The goal of this research was to develop a colloidal gold immunochromatographic strip test for detection of antibody to Mycoplasma wenyonii (M. wenyonii) in bovine using specific antigen. M. wenyonii was isolated from blood samples from the spontaneously infected cattle in Hebei province, China....

CASE HISTORY AND CLINICAL FINDINGS: A dairy cow, from a herd in the Waikato region of New Zealand, was reported with regenerative anaemia on 12 September 2014. Testing of blood from the animal using PCR assays for Theileria orientalis produced a negative result for both Chitose and Ikeda types....

The hemotropic mycoplasma (hemoplasma) Mycoplasma wenyonii is an animal pathogen that affects bovine cattle health. Here, we present the draft genome sequence of the hemoplasma M. wenyonii strain INIFAP02 found in cattle from Mexico.

Background and case presentation: A three year old, second lactation Holstein dairy cow presented to the Scottish Centre for Production Animal Health and Food Safety, Glasgow University Veterinary School in November 2014 with a history of post-calving vulval/vaginal bleeding nine days prior to...

We report two cases of bovine babesiosis caused by Babesia divergens in a region of central Bosnia and Herzegovina. The cases were detected in June 2017 and July 2018 from two small backyard farms. Routine clinical assessments, including physical examination and haematology, revealed lethargy,...

In the summer of 2016, some cows in a dairy herd in the centre of the Manche showed unexplained weakness, resulting in catastrophic accidental falls. Hyperthermic peaks accompanied by a drop in milk production were also noted from data obtained from the milking robot. This information combined with ...

Hemotropic mycoplasmas (hemoplasmas) are Gram-negative bacteria that parasitize the erythrocyte surface of a wide variety of mammals. The present study aimed at investigating the occurrence of hemoplasmas in beef cattle in the Brazilian Pantanal, an area endemic for bovine trypanosomiasis in South...
