Feline haemoplasmas are widely distributed in pet cats throughout the world, although the prevalence varies geographically [9–13]. These variations may be due to differences in climate as studies have shown a correlation between haemoplasma prevalence and warmer climate [9–11, 14]. The higher prevalence is suggested to be due to presence of a higher number of blood-sucking arthropods, which are suspected to be vectors for haemoplasmas [12, 15]. The risk of infection has also been associated with several other factors, such as age, gender and breed [10–12].
