Free-roaming dogs and cats represent potential reservoirs for zoonotic vector-borne pathogens shedding to the human population. Given the health impact of these pathogens, we searched free-roaming dogs and cats included in an animal population control program from Luanda, Angola, for and hemotropic mycoplasma infection. We report the detection of (2/66; 3%), Mycoplasma haemominutum (5/66; 7.5%) and (1/66; 1.5%) in cats. One dog was found positive for (1/20; 5%). This is the first report of infections in stray cats and of hemotropic mycoplasmas in cats and dogs from Angola. Despite the relatively small sample size, our results sustain the hypothesis of uncontrolled circulation of these agents in highly mobile synanthropic animal populations of Luanda. Population and vector control could contribute to reducing the likelihood for animal-to-animal and animal-to-human transmission.
自由放养的狗和猫是向人类传播人畜共患媒介传播病原体的潜在宿主。鉴于这些病原体对健康的影响，我们在安哥拉罗安达一项动物种群控制计划中的自由放养的狗和猫身上，检测了巴尔通体和嗜血性支原体感染情况。我们报告在猫身上检测到了五日热巴尔通体（2/66；3%）、溶血支原体（5/66；7.5%）和汉赛巴尔通体（1/66；1.5%）。发现一只狗的溶血支原体检测呈阳性（1/20；5%）。这是安哥拉流浪猫感染五日热巴尔通体以及猫和狗感染嗜血性支原体的首次报告。尽管样本量相对较小，但我们的结果支持了这些病原体在罗安达高度流动的共生动物种群中不受控制传播的假设。种群和媒介控制有助于降低动物间以及动物与人之间传播的可能性。
