A primary interest is haemotropic mycoplasmas (haemoplasmas), which are bacterial agents that can induce haemolytic anaemia in a range of host species. Most of our studies centre on the feline haemoplasmas but we have carried out research on other haemoplasma species including canine, rodent and human species. We also work on feline coronavirus (FCoV) infection, a virus that can cause feline infectious peritonitis (FIP). Current research involves the development of reliable diagnostic
