Hemoplasma

Detection of Mycoplasma haemocanis (large form) and Candidatus Mycoplasma haematoparvum (small form) by real-time PCR.

Reasons for Testing

• Canine Hemobartonellosis Diagnostics
• Bacterial Load Monitoring per and post antibiotic treatment
• Detection of asymptomatic carriers.

Test Characteristics

• Real-time PCR
• Limit of detection
• Detection of Mycoplasma haemocanis and Candidatus Mycoplasma haematoparvum

Diagnostics Samples

• Canine Hemobartonellosis Diagnostics: whole blood (EDTA), bone marrow, spllen or liver biopsies.
• Treatment Efficacy Monitoring: whole blood (EDTA)
• Detection of Asymptomatic Carriers: whole blood (EDTA), bone marrow, spleen aspirate

Result Interpretation

• Negative result: absence of these bacteria or quantity inferior to the limit of detection of the assay. A clinical hemobartonellosis can be excluded.
  -* Positive result: the type of hemobartonella and the load detected must be considered for interpretation.
