Article Synopsis
- Hemotropic mycoplasmas are known to cause hemolytic anemia in various mammals, but their presence in Chilean artiodactyls, specifically pudus, has not been studied until now.
- The study involved analyzing blood samples from 76 pudus and found a 13% infection rate, with no significant difference between wild (19%) and captive (6%) populations.
- Results revealed closely related sequences to Mycoplasma ovis in both groups and identified two new sequences, indicating the need for further research on the health impacts and population effects of hemoplasmas on pudus and other wildlife in Chile.
Infectious diseases are emerging and re-emerging due to climate change. Understanding how climate variability affects the transmission of infectious diseases is important for both researchers and the general public. Yet, the widespread knowledge of the general public on this matter is unknown, and quantitative research is still lacking.
