Resumen:
Infection with hemothropic mycoplasmas is a common feature of the Darwin?s fox, with an observed prevalence of 57% in Chiloé Island, and the majority of the positive cases identified as Mycoplasma hemocanis. The aims of this work are: to determine whether Mhc infection is enzootic or epizootic in Darwin?s fox; to determine whether Mhc is also present in mainland foxes; to determine the presence and the prevalence of hemoplasma infection in rural dogs in Chiloé, and to characterize and compare the sequences obtained from foxes and sympatric dogs.
