"candidatus mycoplasma haemomacaque" and bartonella quintana bacteremia in cynomolgus monkeys.

here, we report latent infections with bartonella quintana and a hemotropic mycoplasma sp. in a research colony of cynomolgus monkeys (macaca fascicularis). sequence alignments, evolutionary analysis, and signature nucleotide sequence motifs of the hemotropic mycoplasma 16s rrna and rnase p genes indicate the presence of a novel organism.
