Overview

Investigates hemotropic Mycoplasma infections in wild rodents, revealing significant genetic diversity and implications for epidemiology.

Key Points

  • The aim is to characterize hemotropic Mycoplasma infections and their genetic diversity in wild rodents across Thailand.
  • Blood samples screened using PCR targeted at 16S and 23S rRNA genes.
  • Sanger sequencing performed on positive samples for genetic analysis.
  • Nucleotide sequence types (ntSTs) defined and phylogenetic relationships reconstructed.
  • Tripartite network analysis employed to explore associations among locations, host species, and HM sequences.
  • 43% of analyzed blood samples tested positive for hemotropic Mycoplasma.
  • Eight 16S and nine 23S ntSTs identified and clustered into three major phylogenetic groups.
  • Several 23S rRNA sequences showed less than 95% identity to known taxa, suggesting potential novel species.
  • First evidence of hemotropic Mycoplasma circulation in wild rodents in mainland Thailand.
