Co-infection with Mycoplasma haemofelis and ‘ Candidatus Mycoplasma haemominutum’ in three cats from Brazil
The two most common haemotropic Mycoplasma of cats, Mycoplasma haemofelis and ‘ Candidatus Mycoplasma haemominutum’ have been identified using molecular techniques in all continents, except Antarctica. We report the first molecular characterization in South America of a dual infection with M haemofe...
