==Description==
An infectious disease of the cat caused by ''[[Mycoplasma haemofelis]]'' which until recently was known as ''Haemobartonella felis''.
An infectious disease of the cat caused by ''Mycoplasma haemofelis'' which until recently was known as ''Haemobartonella felis''. It is a species of the ''[[Mycoplasmas species - Overview|Mycoplasmas]]'' genus which causes Feline Infectious Anaemia.
The organism is found on the surface of [[Erythrocytes|erythrocytes]] and is considered an opportunistic infection that causes illness following predisposing factors. It is possible to be transmitted via bite wounds, biting arthropods, via blood transfusions and from a queen to her kittens. The organism causes a cyclic parasitaemia in affected cats and infected animals, despite mounting an immune response, will become carriers of the organism.
