The MycHae epPCR comprises a series of specific targeted reagents designed for Mycoplasma haemofelis/haemocanis detection by using epPCR. Mycoplasma haemofelis (formerly Haemobartonella felis) and Mycoplasma haemocanis (formerly Haemobartonella canis) are Gram-negative epierythrocytic parasitic bacteria infecting cats and dogs respectively. Disease leads to massive bacteremia of red blood cells and severe haemolytic anaemia (haemobartonellosis). The bacteria can be transmitted from one animal to another by blood-feeding arthropods, such as fleas and ticks. Molecular detection by PCR is the most specific way of detecting bacteria in the blood of infected animals having acute or latent infections.
