Graph showing mean haemoglobin values after infection for cats infected with each of the three main feline haemoplasma species. Significant anaemia is only induced in the cats infected with Mycoplasma haemofelis. Although a fall in haemoglobin concentration does occur following infection with both ‘Candidatus Mycoplasma haemominutum’ and ‘Candidatus Mycoplasma turicensis’, anaemia is usually only induced if the infected cat is also immunocompromised.
