Diversity within the current algal species Prototheca zopfii: a proposal for two Prototheca zopfii genotypes and description of a novel species, Prototheca blaschkeae sp. nov.
In order to clarify the intraspecies taxonomic position of the non-photosynthetic algal species Prototheca zopfii, as well as the aetiology of bovine mammary protothecosis, a selection of P. zopfii strains isolated from clinical cases of protothecal mastitis and from various environmental habitats was characterized using a polyphasic molecular approach. Based on sequence analysis of the 18S rRN...
متن کاملIdentification of Prototheca zopfii from Bovine Mastitis
BACKGROUND The aim of this study was identification of the epidemiology of Prototheca zopfii species from the milk samples of dairy cattle in Isfahan, central Iran. METHODS Milk samples were obtained from 230 dairy cattle, 130 with and 100 without mastitis, in Isfahan. The samples were cultured in Prototheca Isolation Medium (PIM) and Sabouraud's dextrose agar. All P. zopfii isolates were ide...
متن کاملMolecular characterization of Polish Prototheca zopfii mastitis isolates and first isolation of Prototheca blaschkeae in Poland.
Bovine mastitits caused by the colorless, yeast-like alga Prototheca zopfii is a serious and complex condition that results in heavy economic losses in the dairy industry, both through a substantial reduction in milk production and culling of infected animals. Based on the 18S rDNA sequence analysis, genotype-specific PCR assays have recently been developed to differentiate within the species P...

متن کاملPrototheca zopfii mastitis in a herd of dairy cows.
Mastitis caused by the colourless alga Prototheca zopfii was diagnosed in 17 of 120 cows in a dairy herd. Infection occurred in animals varying from 3-14 years old and was present in one to four quarters of each cow. Nine cases were associated with clinical mastitis characterised by the presence in milk of flakes or small clots. Somatic cell counts consistent with subclinical mastitis (>500 x 1...
