Abstract excerpt
In this study, we conducted a molecular investigation of hemotropic Mycoplasma spp. in bat species captured in the northern region of the Pantanal biome, Mato Grosso State, Brazil. Tissue samples were screened by qPCR targeting the 16S rRNA gene. Positive samples were subsequently subjected to conventional PCR assays targeting partial fragments of the 16S rRNA (~900 bp) and 23S rRNA (~800 bp) genes. Hemoplasma...
