Prevalence, Risk Factor Analysis, and Follow-Up of Infections Caused by Three Feline Hemoplasma Species in Cats in Switzerland
Barbara Willi,Felicitas S Boretti,C. Baumgartner,Séverine Tasker,Bettina Wenger,Valentino Cattori,Marina L. Meli,Claudia E Reusch,Hans Lutz,Regina Hofmann-Lehmann +9 more
TL;DR: A repeated evaluation of 17 cats documented that the infection was acquired in one case by blood transfusion and that there were important differences among species regarding whether or not antibiotic administration led to the resolution of bacteremia.
Journal ArticleDOI
Identification, molecular characterization, and experimental transmission of a new hemoplasma isolate from a cat with hemolytic anemia in Switzerland.
Barbara Willi,Felicitas S Boretti,Valentino Cattori,Séverine Tasker,Marina L. Meli,Claudia E Reusch,Hans Lutz,Regina Hofmann-Lehmann +7 more
TL;DR: A quantitative real-time PCR assay specific for this newly discovered agent was developed, which will be a prerequisite for the diagnosis of infections with the new hemoplasma isolate.
Journal ArticleDOI
Pathogen carriage by the cat flea Ctenocephalides felis (Bouché) in the United Kingdom
TL;DR: The carriage of Bartonella, Rickettsia felis and haemoplasma species was investigated in cat fleas collected from 121 cats and dogs in the United Kingdom, raising the possibility that Ct. felis found on dogs and cats are a potential source of infection with such pathogens for humans.
Journal ArticleDOI
Prognostic Factors in Cats with Chronic Kidney Disease
TL;DR: B baseline variables, increased plasma creatinine concentration, increased urine protein-to-creatinine ratio (UPC), and increased blood leukocyte count were significantly associated with a shorter renal survival time and were independent risk factors.
