Molecular epidemiology and multilocus characterization of canine hemoplasmas in Thailand reveal the first 23S rRNA gene sequences of 'Candidatus Mycoplasma haematoparvum'.
Hemotropic Mycoplasma spp., also known as hemoplasmas, are blood-borne pathogens that infect red blood cells and can cause hemolytic anemia in mammals, including dogs. Mycoplasma haemocanis (Mhc) and 'Candidatus Mycoplasma haematoparvum' (CMhp) are the two most common canine hemoplasma species. However, molecular epide...
