Geographically widespread and novel hemotropic mycoplasmas and bartonellae in Mexican free-tailed bats and sympatric North American bat species

2024-02-09

Abstract excerpt

Bacterial pathogens remain poorly characterized in bats, especially in North America. We describe novel (and in some cases panmictic) hemoplasmas (10.5% positivity) and bartonellae (25.5% positivity) across three colonies of Mexican free-tailed bats ( Tadarida brasiliensis ), a partially migratory species that can seasonally travel hundreds of kilometers. Molecular analyses identified three novel Candidatus hemo...
