Article Synopsis
- A study investigated the presence of hemotropic mycoplasmas (hemoplasmas) in bats across Nigeria, analyzing blood samples from 90 bats from various species.
- Out of these samples, 32 (35%) tested positive, revealing eight distinct nucleotide sequence types tied to five genotypes that show high genetic similarity to hemoplasmas found in bats, rodents, and even a human pathogen.
- The findings indicate that hemoplasmas in Nigerian bats are prevalent, genetically diverse, and have zoonotic potential, suggesting a risk to local human populations.
