Feline hemotropic mycoplasmas
We've expanded our testing options and begun performing quantitative PCR testing for pathogenic hemotropic mycoplasmas in cats!
Now you can not only obtain a qualitative result (confirm the detection of an infectious agent) but also determine the exact amount of pathogenic genetic material in the sample. This will help veterinarians determine the effectiveness of treatment after a confirmed hemoplasmosis diagnosis and choose the most appropriate treatment plan for the patient.
Maria Kalaida, Senior Veterinarian in the Molecular Diagnostics Department at Vet Union, spoke with us about feline hemotropic mycoplasmas, their diagnostic features, and established treatment regimens.
