Abstract
Mycoplasma spp. were isolated from 5 wild raccoon dogs (N. procyonoides viverrinus). On the basis of biochemical properties and serological tests, 9 isolates were identified as M. edwardii, and 4 were similar to a possibly new Mycoplasma sp. represented by strain LM2 which is negative for both glucose fermentation and arginine hydrolysis. Ureaplasmas were also detected in these animals. Ureaplasmas were compared serologically with ureaplasma strains isolated from human, monkey, cattle, goat, sheep, cat, chicken and dog, and cross-reacted with 1 of 4 serological groups of canine ureaplasmas.
