A molecular survey of hemoplasmas in domestic dogs from Turkey
Abstract Mycoplasma haemocanis (Mhc) and Candidatus Mycoplasma haematoparvum
(CMhp) are cell-wall-deficient bacterial pathogens that localize on the vertebrate erythrocyte
surface. Prevalence of infection with these hemoplasmas and associated risks factors were
ascertained from archived DNA samples collected from 621 domestic dogs (201 strays, 262
from shelters, 158 domestic pets) by species-specific PCR assay. The overall prevalence of
infection was 15.3%(CI 12.5–18.4), with Mhc and CMhp single infection prevalence of …
