First Molecular Evidence for Mycoplasma haemocanis and Candidatus Mycoplasma haematoparvum in Asymptomatic Shelter Dogs in Kyrgyzstan = Kırgızistan’da Asemptomatik Barınak Köpeklerinde Mycoplasma haemocanis ve Candidatus Mycoplasma haematoparvum İçin İlk Moleküler Kanıt

Mycoplasma haemocanis (Mhc) and Candidatus Mycoplasma haematoparvum (CMhp) have been investigated using species specific PCR and sequencing in 170 dogs from Kyrgyzstan. Maximum likelihood estimation (MLE) of the infection rates with 95% confidence intervals (CI) was calculated. The molecular prevalence of hemoplasma infection was 5.29% (CI 2.57-9.34). It was found that, five (2.94%, CI 1.06-6.22) samples were found to be infected with Mhc, one (0.59%, CI 0.03-2.57) sample with CMhp and three (1.76%, CI 0.44-4.52) samples with both species. These results demonstrate that dogs can be exposed to ...More
