Abstract

Blood samples from 78 cattle were tested for hemoplasma infection using molecular methods. PCR and sequence analysis revealed that 17 cattle were infected with Mycoplasma wenyonii, while 13 were infected with ‘Candidatus Mycoplasma haemobos’. Four animals were infected with both species. This is the first study to report hemoplasma species infection among cattle in Japan.
