Real-time PCR-based study of haemotrophic mycoplasmas in dogs from Ribeirão Preto, Brazil

Mycoplasma haemocanis and Candidatus Mycoplasma haematoparvum are canine haemoparasites associated with anemia in dogs. The tick Rhipicephalus sanguineus has been pointed as the main vector of transmission, but a clear association between the exposure of dogs to ticks and infection has not been esta...
