Effect of Genetic and Non-genetic Factors on Seroprevalence of Mycoplasma Mycoides Subsp. Capri in Goat
نویسندگان
چکیده
A cross sectional study was done to understand the effect of genotypes, farm management and agro-climatic conditions in Kerala and Uttar Pradesh on seroprevalence of Mycoplasma mycoides Subsp. capri (Mmc) in goats. Goat serum was screened by Slide Agglutination test (SAT) for Mmc antibodies. It was found that there was no statistically significant difference (P>0.05) in mycoplasma seroprevalence between the two states and among the genotypes-Malabari, Attapadi Black and non-descript goats. However, the chisquare probability distribution revealed that there was significant difference (P>0.05) in seroprevalence in goats reared in government farms than farmer herds and the likelihood of getting mycoplasmosis from farmer herds was 3.40 than government farms.

Detection of Mycoplasma capri antibodies in goats of Gujarat state
200 serum samples were collected from apparently healthy goats of different age and sex from Anand, Navsari and Valsad districts of Gujarat (India), were screened for mycoplasmal antibodies by slide agglutination test using colored antigen of Mycoplasma mycoides subsp. capri. Out of 200 serum samples screened 85 were found to be positive indicating overall seroprevalence of 42.50 percent. The h...
متن کاملGenetic and serological analysis of lipoprotein LppA in Mycoplasma mycoides subsp. mycoides LC and Mycoplasma mycoides subsp. capri.
The genes encoding the 62-kDa lipoproteins from the Mycoplasma mycoides subsp. mycoides large-colony type (LC) strain Y-goat and the M. mycoides subsp. capri strain PG3 were cloned and analyzed by sequencing. These two lipoproteins have been named LppA[MmymyLC] and LppA[Mmyca], and their corresponding genes have been named lppA[MmymyLC] and lppA[Mmyca], respectively. The nucleotide and deduced ...
متن کاملMycoplasma mycoides subsp. capri and Mycoplasma mycoides subsp. mycoides LC can be grouped into a single subspecies.
Mycoplasma mycoides subsp. capri and Mycoplasma mycoides subsp. mycoides LC can be combined into one taxon on the basis of several contributions on both DNA sequence and protein analyses reported in the literature. Moreover, for the differentiation and identification of mycoplasmas of the "mycoides cluster", we investigated the rpoB gene, encoding the beta-subunit of the RNA polymerase. A segme...

Mycoplasma mycoides subsp. mycoides Large Colony (LC) type is a pathogen of goats causing contagious agalactia and respiratory disease, found on all continents where small ruminants are kept. It shares close genetic characteristics with M. mycoides subsp. capri. Substrate oxidation by 22 strains of M. mycoides subsp. mycoides LC from nine countries was compared with that of eight strains of M. ...
متن کاملIsolation and Characterization of Mycoplasma mycoides Subspecies capri from Milk of Natural Goat Mastitis Cases
Association of Mycoplasma mycoides subspecies capri (Mmc) with natural goat mastitis has been studied earlier largely by detecting the Mmc DNA using molecular methods. However, report on detection of cultivable Mmc isolates from natural goat-mastitis milk is still very rare. In this study, Mmc was isolated from milk samples (n = 171) of goats with or without clinical signs of mastitis. Mmc isol...
