Demonstration of two distinct hemotropic mycoplasmas in French dogs

Abstract

In North America it has been shown that distinct hemotropic mycoplasmas exist in dogs. Blood samples from 460 French dogs were analyzed by PCR to evaluate hemoplasma infection status. Seventy-one dogs (15.4%) were positive; of these, 44 (9.6%) were infected with an organism closely related to "Candidatus Mycoplasma haemoparvum" only, 15 (3.3%) were infected with Mycoplasma haemocanis only, and 12 dogs (2.6%) were dually infected with both organisms.

Phylogeny of hemoplasma 16S rRNA gene sequences and related species. The phylogenetic tree was constructed using the neighbor-joining program from a distance matrix corrected for nucleotide substitutions by the Kimura two-parameter model. M. pneumoniae was included as an outgroup. Evolutionary distances are to the scale shown. Bootstrap percentage values are given to the left of the tree nodes. GenBank accession numbers are shown. *, indicates the isolate for which 16S rDNA sequence was derived in the present study.
