Hemotropic Mycoplasma and Bartonella Species Diversity in Free-Roaming Canine a...
Mesquita, JR; Oliveira, AC; Neves, F; Mendoza, JR; Luz, MF; Crespo, I; Dos Santos, TF; Santos-Silva, S; Vilhena, H; Barradas, PFFree-roaming dogs and cats represent potential reservoirs for zoonotic vector-borne pathogens shedding to the human population. Given the health impact of these pathogens, we searched free-roaming dogs and cats included in an animal population control program from Luanda, Angola, for Bartonella and hemotropic mycoplasma infection. We report the detection of Bartonella henselae (2/66; 3%), Candidatus Mycoplasma ...

Barradas, PF; de Sousa, R; Vilhena, H; Oliveira, AC; Luz, MF; Granada, S; Cardoso, L; Lopes, AP; Gonçalves, H; Mesquita, JR; Ferreira, P; Amorim, IA total of 100 domestic cats from Luanda (Angola) were tested for the presence of antibodies against Bartonella henselae and spotted fever group of Rickettsia (SFGR) using indirect immunofluorescence assay (IFA). Molecular screening targeting the riboflavin synthase (ribC) gene for Bartonella and outer membrane protein B (ompB) gene for Rickettsia, using conventional PCR and sequencing was also performed in cat...
