Feline hemoplasmas, consisting of Mycoplasma haemofelis (M. haemofelis), Candidatus Mycoplasma haemominutum (Ca. M. haemominutum), and Candidatus Mycoplasma turicensis (Ca. M. turicensis), cause feline infectious anemia and zoonoses. Using multiplex PCR and phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA, 22 blood samples from fishing cats (Prionailurus viverrinus) living in Khao Sam Roi Yot National Park, Thailand were determined positive for M. haemofelis (13.6%)and Ca. M. haemominutum (22.7%). M. haemofelis and Ca. M. haemominutum infection can result severe anemia and asymptomatic, respectively. However, not all positive cases exhibit anemia symptoms. Future study of hemoplasma infection in wild felids is necessary for conservation and the preservation of public health in Thailand.
猫血巴尔通体属，包括溶血支原体（M. haemofelis）、嗜吞噬细胞无形体（Ca. M. haemominutum）和图氏无形体（Ca. M. turicensis），可引发猫传染性贫血和人畜共患病。利用基于16S rRNA的多重PCR和系统发育分析，对来自泰国考索姆罗伊约国家公园的渔猫（Prionailurus viverrinus）的22份血液样本进行检测，结果显示，13.6%的样本溶血支原体呈阳性，22.7%的样本嗜吞噬细胞无形体呈阳性。溶血支原体和嗜吞噬细胞无形体感染分别可导致严重贫血和无症状感染。然而，并非所有阳性病例都表现出贫血症状。为了泰国的野生动物保护和公众健康，有必要对野生猫科动物的血巴尔通体感染进行进一步研究。
