Proposal for ‘Candidatus Mycoplasma haemomuris subsp. musculi’ in mice, and ‘Candidatus Mycoplasma haemomuris subsp. ratti’ in rats

Abstract excerpt

Mycoplasma haemomuris is causative of infectious anaemia or splenomegaly in rodents. We examined the nucleotide sequences of the non-ribosomal genes, rnpB and dnaK, in strains of the species M. haemomuris detected in small field mice and black rats. rnpB nucleotide sequences in strains of the species M. haemomuris isolated from small field mice and black rats had only 89 % sequence similarity, suggesting their...
