Contagious agalactia of sheep and goats
نویسنده
چکیده
Diagnosis can be performed in any laboratory which has the appropriate culture media. Identification of the three mycoplasmas responsible is relatively easy on the basis of cultural and biochemical characteristics, confirmed serologically. A clinical diagnosis within a herd can be confirmed by detecting serum antibodies by the complement fixation or ELISA techniques, which are also suitable for epidemiological surveys.
