Hemotropic mycoplasmas (hemoplasmas) are bacteria distributed worldwide and affect domestic and wildlife animals and human beings. Hemoplasmas have been described infecting hematophagous and non-hematophagous bats; however, transmission risk and zoonotic potential in vampire bats remain to be fully established. This study aimed to evaluate the presence of hemotropic mycoplasma species in free-ranging bats from this area using a universal PCR protocol for hemoplasmas. Accordingly, ten blood samples were collected from six male common vampire bats (Desmodus rotundus), two male hairy-legged vampire bats (Diphylla ecaudata), and two female non-hematophagous Pallas's mastiff bats (Molossus sp.) from the Curitiba's region, Paraná State, Southern Brazil. A total of eight (8/10) blood samples were positive byconventional PCR; five (5/6) Desmodus rotundus, two (2/2) Diphylla ecaudata, and one (1/2) Molossus sp. bats. The analyses of the partial sequence of the 16S rDNA gene suggest that the hemoplasma detected in Desmodus rotundus in South Brazil has a high identity compared to the hemoplasma circulating in vampire bats from Central and South America.

来自巴西南部蝙蝠的蝙蝠的嗜血支原体（hemoplasmas）。

嗜血支原体（hemoplasmas）是分布在世界各地的细菌，会影响家畜和野生动物以及人类。已有描述，血友病感染了食血和非嗜血的蝙蝠。但是，吸血蝙蝠的传播风险和人畜共患病的潜力仍有待完全确定。这项研究的目的是使用通用的PCR技术对血友病进行评估，以评估该区域自由放养的蝙蝠中是否存在嗜血性支原体。因此，从库里提巴地区巴拉那州的六只雄性普通吸血蝙蝠（圆角Desmodus rotundus），两只雄性长毛吸血蝙蝠（Diphylla ecaudata）和两只雌性非食血性帕拉斯s犬（Molossus sp。）中采集了十份血样。巴西南部州。通过常规PCR总共有八（8/10）个血液样本为阳性；五（5/6）圆形的Desmodus，两（2/2）的小叶锦葵和一（1/2）的Molossus sp。蝙蝠。对16S rDNA基因部分序列的分析表明，与在中美洲和南美洲的吸血蝙蝠中传播的血浆相比，在巴西南部的圆角Desmodus rotundus中检测到的血浆具有较高的身份。
