Hemotrophic mycoplasmas (hemoplasmas) are epierythrocytic bacteria that infect wild and domestic animals, and can cause anemia in some of them. They are considered emerging and zoonotic pathogens, causing serious health problems in wildlife. Candidatus Mycoplasma haemolamae is the only species of hemoplasma that infects domestic South American camelids (alpacas and llamas), with limited studies in wild camelids.

is a hemotrophic bacterium circulating in the blood of pigs but is not considered a primary pathogen. Only a handful of studies dealing with this agent have been published since its first description in 1951, and many issues, including epidemiology and the impact of subclinical infections, are yet to be elucidated. This study aimed to establish a specific real-time PCR for its detection and quantification in porcine blood and the application of this assay to obtain insights into the occurrence of in German pigs.

Article Synopsis
- The review discusses updated knowledge on tick-borne bacteria affecting one-humped camels globally, noting their role as carriers of various zoonotic pathogens.
- It highlights the asymptomatic nature of these infections in camels, which leads to an underestimation of their public health impact and emphasizes the potential for new pathogenic strains to emerge.
- The study calls for strategic research and development for better diagnostics and control measures to protect camels, livestock, and humans from these tick-borne diseases, especially as climate change and urbanization influence the spread of infections.
