Frequency and hematological alterations of different hemoplasma infections with retrovirusis co-infections in domestic cats from Brazil

Abstract: ABSTRACT.-Firmino F.P., Aquino L.C., Marçola T.G., Bittencourt M.V., Mycoplasma haemofelis is the agent of feline infectious anemia, although Candidatus M. haemominutum can also be associated. This study evaluated the frequency and hematological alterations caused by hemoplasma infections and co-infections with FeLV, FIV and Toxoplasma gondii in domestic cats from two distinct areas (urban -G1 and periurban -G2) of Brasília, Brazil. One hundred cats were evaluated, 51 from the G1 area and 49 from G2. No cats w… Show more

“… 10 , 12 , 25 In laboratory settings, coinfections have been shown to result in longer clinical disease with more severe anaemia, but no such differences were noted in cats from Brazil. 1 , 26 Our results concur with suggestions stated in other studies that PCR positivity and/or chronic carrier status are not necessarily linked to anaemia. 13 …”

“…The occurrence of anemia due to hemoplasma infection has been common in cats [ 15 , 19 , 71 , 72 ], pigs [ 61 ], cattle [ 73 ], sheep [ 74 , 75 ], and splenectomized dogs [ 76 ]. Regarding hemoplasma infection in wild animals, the occurrence of anemia has already been reported in reindeers ( Rangifer tarandus ) [ 77 ], non-human primates ( Sapajus flavius) [ 17 ], and guignas ( Leopardus guigna ) [ 78 ].…”

“…Anaemia characterised by paleness of mucous membrane and low haematological values is commonplace in Mhf infection pathology (Sykes, 2010;Raimundo et al, 2016). In the same manner, jaundice is also a known clinical sign of Mhf because of the haemolytic activity of this bacteria (Firmino et al, 2016). Several studies have associated these clinical signs with haemoplasmosis and are thus considered representative of this disease.…”
