Haemoplasmas contain Eperythrozoon and Haemobartonella species, which are widespread causes of animal and human infections. These obligatory cell parasites were previously known as Hemobartonella; now hemotropic mycoplasmas. These bacteria are identified by the lack of cell wall and their small genome. The usual diameter is between 0.3 and1μm. Mycoplasmasarepolymorphi...

Introduction: Parasitic diseases could be one of the common problems of human society in any time in every place. The animals can passed this infection to human as zoonotic disease. Cats are one of the most important animals that living and eating long with human in society. Therefore feline parasitic zoonosis is threatened human health and cause death and serious disease.

Ticks and tick-borne infections are global medical and veterinary public health concerns. Thailand has economically and environmentally changed markedly over the past several decades. The magnitude of free roaming carnivores such as dogs and cats is still represents a considerable problem. Stray animals serve not only as reservoirs for infectious diseases to all pet but also as carriers for zoo...

During an 18-mo period (May 2002-November 2003), 10 animals in a herd of 19 reindeer (Rangifer tarandus) at the National Animal Disease Center (NADC) experienced episodes of anemia. Affected animals had histories of weight loss, unthriftiness, occasionally edema of dependent parts and moderate anemia characterized by microcytosis or macrocytosis, hypochromasia, schistocytosis, keratocytosis, ac...
