Molecular Evidence for Hemotropic Mycoplasma Infection in a Japanese Badger (Meles meles anakuma) and a Raccoon Dog (Nyctereutes procyonoides viverrinus )

We report detection of hemoplasma in wild Japanese badgers (Meles meles anakuma) and raccoon dogs (Nyctereutes procyonoides viverrinus). Sequence analysis of the entire 16S rRNA genes identified Mycoplasma haemocanis in the raccoon dog sample, and a potential novel Mycoplasma species in the Japanese...
