The present study aimed to detection and identified the infection of Mycoplasma haemocanis in dogs through clinical manifestation, blood film, conventional PCR technique and sequences analysis. The total number of dogs examined clinically were one hundred, and 25 clinically healthy control in southern Iraq provinces. Examined dogs showed various clinical signs. Blood samples were taking for hematological and biochemical analysis. 72 (72%) of blood smear were positive for Mycoplasma haemocanis, whereas 33(45.8%) positive based on conventional PCR technique. hematological examination in infected animals showed a significant decrease in mean of TRBC, Hb and PCV and significant increase (p>0.05) in the TLC. biochemical examination indicates a significant increase in AST, ALP and ALT in infected animals. The local Mycoplasma haemocanis were showed genetic variant related to NCBI-BLAST Mycoplasma haemocanis Turkey, Thailand, Brazil, and India isolates. In conclusion Mycoplasma haemocanis have been diagnosed in dogs in Basrah city with various clinical manifestation from in apparent to sever anemia, emphasized the infection using conventional PCR technique, and Phylogenetic analysis confirm the identification of Mycoplasma haemocanis as a new submission of local Iraq, with 99% identical to India, Brazil, Thailand and Turkey DNA sequence.
