Overall, hemoplasma DNA was amplified from 22.9% of the cats;
both M. haemofelis and ‘Candidatus M. haemominutum’ were identified.
Haemoplasma spp. DNA was amplified from 34.0% of the flea
pools (Table 1). Of the 35 hemoplasma-positive cats, seven had
hemoplasma-positive fleas. Four of the seven cats had agreement
of the hemoplasma species (‘Candidatus M. haemominutum’). The
