Diversity of Moraxella spp. strains recovered from infectious bovine keratoconjunctivitis cases in Uruguay.
BACKGROUND Infectious bovine keratoconjunctivitis (IBK) is the most common ocular disease that affects cattle throughout the world and it has a very significant economic impact. IBK is caused by members of the genus Moraxella and therapeutic and preventive measures have shown limited success. Vaccines, most of them chemically inactivated bacterins, generally induce a limited protection. METHO...
متن کاملVirulence genes in Moraxella spp. isolates from infectious bovine keratoconjunctivitis cases.
INTRODUCTION Infectious bovine keratoconjunctivitis (IBK) is an important ocular disease which affects cattle worldwide. To advance towards IBK effective prevention and treatment strategies, it is important to define the distribution and genetic diversity of potential virulence factors present in M. bovis and M. bovoculi. The objective of this work was to identify and to analyze Moraxella spp. ...
متن کاملMoraxella spp. isolated from field outbreaks of infectious bovine keratoconjunctivitis: a retrospective study of case submissions from 2010 to 2013.
Infectious bovine keratoconjunctivitis (IBK), also known as pinkeye, is the most costly eye disease of cattle. The principal etiologic agent of IBK is the Gram-negative bacterium Moraxella bovis. However, there have been reports of IBK outbreaks associated with Moraxella bovoculi. A retrospective study of IBK diagnostic cases submitted from July 1, 2010 through October 31, 2013 was conducted. I...
متن کاملInfectious Bovine Keratoconjunctivitis Management
Infectious bovine keratoconjunctivitis is a disease that affects many herds in the US, however, the epidemiology of the disease is complicated and control is frustrating for many producers. This article discusses putative causes of IBK and approaches to understanding the causes of success and apparent failure in IBK control programs.
متن کاملA haemolytic cell-free preparation of Moraxella bovis confers protection against infectious bovine keratoconjunctivitis.
Protection conferred by a cell-free preparation from a haemolytic Moraxella bovis isolate, UQV 148NF, was compared to an equivalent fraction from a non-haemolytic M. bovis isolate, Gordon 26L3, and to a recombinant DNA-derived pili vaccine. Three groups of ten calves were vaccinated twice with one of the three preparations and, together with ten non-vaccinated calves, challenged with virulent M...
