Feline infectious anemia (FIA) is an infectious disease found in felines, causing anemia and other symptoms. The disease is caused by a variety of infectious agents, most commonly Mycoplasma haemofelis (which used to be called Haemobartonella). Haemobartonella and Eperythrozoon species were reclassified as mycoplasmas. Coinfection often occurs with other infectious agents, including: feline leukemia virus (FeLV), feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV), Ehrlichia species, Anaplasma phagocytophilum, and Candidatus Mycoplasma haemominutum.[1]
