Bovine Genital Campylobacteriosis

چکیده
Bovine genital campylobacteriosis is a venereally transmitted bacterial disease caused by Campylobacter fetus subsp venerealis. The disease is characterised by temporary infertility of female cattle as a result of a subacute diffuse mucopurulent cervicitis, endometritis and salpingitis. Abortion occurs in a small percentage of infected cows, months after initial infection. Infected bulls show no clinical signs but many become carriers and subsequently infect females at service. All breeds of cattle are susceptible. The disease is often suspected in herds in which infertility or abortions occur.
