First report of multiple infection by Anaplasma platys, Bartonella henselae, and hemoplasmas in clinically healthy domestic cats from Southern Brazil.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Hemoparasitoses in domestic cats are increasingly recognized as an emerging challenge for veterinary medicine and public health due to their subclinical persistence and zoonotic potential. This study aimed to detect Anaplasma platys, Bartonella henselae, and hemotropic mycoplasmas (Mycoplasma haemofelis [Mhf] and ‘Candidatus Mycoplasma haemominutum’ [CMhm]) in clinically healthy cats from Pelotas, southern Brazil, using molecular assays. A total of 151 blood samples collected between 2022 and 2024 were analyzed by conventional and nested PCR. Detection rates were 21.9% (33/151) for (A) platys, 15.2% (23/151) for (B) henselae, and 21.9% (33/151) for hemoplasmas, with a higher occurrence of CMhm (17.2%; 26/151) than Mhf (4.0%; 6/151). Coinfections occurred in 10.7% (16/151) of cats, including dual infections and one triple infection (0.7%; 1/151) involving (A) platys, (B) henselae, and CMhm. Statistical analyses showed that (A) platys infection was significantly associated with adult age (p = 0.01), (B) henselae was more frequent in kittens (p = 0.04), and hemoplasma infection occurred more often in males (p = 0.03). To our knowledge, this is the first molecular evidence of concurrent infection by (A) platys, (B) henselae, and ‘Candidatus Mycoplasma haemominutum’ in a cat from Brazil. These findings highlight the influence of host factors on pathogen dynamics and reinforce the need for molecular surveillance and integrated vector control under a One Health perspective.
