Prevalence of Vector-Borne Pathogens in Reproductive and Non-Reproductive Tissue Samples from Free-Roaming Domestic Cats in the South Atlantic USA

Manvell, C., Ferris, K., Maggi, R., Breitschwerdt, E. B., & Lashnits, E. (2021, September 21). Pathogens, Vol. 10, p. 1221.

author keywords: Bartonella spp; hemotropic Mycoplasma spp; reproduction; cats; prevalence
topics (OpenAlex): Bartonella species infections research; Vector-borne infectious diseases; Viral Infections and Vectors
TL;DR: Ear tip and reproductive tissues of FRCs from two locations in the South Atlantic United States for Anaplasma, Bartonella, Ehrlichia, hemotropic Mycoplasma, and Rickettsia species suggest that B. henselae preferentially infected cats’ reproductive tissue and reinforces the importance of investigating the potential for vertical transmission or induction of reproductive failure.
