Molecular detection and genetic analysis of porcine haemoplasmas in commercial pig farms from Thailand reveal a putative novel species

Abstract excerpt

Haemoplasma is a trivial name for haemotropic Mycoplasma spp., which can attach to the surface of red blood cells leading to deformity and anaemia in a wide range of mammalian animals, including pigs. In Thailand, there is only one study that reported the occurrence of Mycoplasma suis without other haemoplasma species. In this study, we examined the molecular occurrence and genetic diversity of porcine...
