Mycoplasma bovis pathogenesis, diagnostic methods and epidemiology of relevance for control and prevention
نویسنده
چکیده
The most common transmission routes are direct cattle-to-cattle contact, contaminated milk and milking equipment, and aerosols moving between animals over short distances (few meters), so any prevention method that can mitigate those routes will reduce the size and duration of outbreaks. Less common transmission routes include semen from infected bulls and perhaps long-distance airborne pathogens being spread between outbreaks and susceptible farms.

Mycoplasma bovis as an agent of mastitis, pneumonia, arthritis and genital disorders in cattle.
Bovine diseases due to Mycoplasma bovis can cause considerable economic losses in cattle production. While the pathogen is principally responsible for therapy-resistant mastitis on large dairy farms, on smaller farms the typical mycoplasma diseases are calf pneumonia and arthritis. Moreover, the pathogen is able to cause genital disorders. M. bovis infection can be controlled effectively only i...
متن کاملAcridine orange staining for diagnosis of Mycoplasma bovis infection in cow milk.
Mycoplasma organisms were readily recognized in samples of milk or udder secretions from cows with clinical Mycoplasma bovis mastitis when these samples were stained with 0.01% acridine orange at pH 3.0. Samples could be stored at -4 degrees C for several days or subjected to repeated freezing and thawing without loss of staining or fluorescence properties. Use of this procedure in diagnostic l...

The pathogen Mycoplasma bovis (M. bovis) is a major cause of respiratory disease, mastitis, and arthritis in cattle. Screening the key immunogenic proteins and updating rapid diagnostic techniques are necessary to the prevention and control of M. bovis infection. In this study, 19 highly immunogenic proteins from M. bovis strain PD were identified using 2-dimensional gel electrophoresis, immuno...

Mycoplasma bovis induces various clinical manifestations in cattle, such as mastitis, arthritis, and pneumonia. We have evaluated the immunoreactivity of three variable surface proteins (Vsps) of M. bovis, namely VspA, VspB, and VspC, with sera collected from herds with mycoplasmosis or from cattle experimentally infected with M. bovis. Western blot analysis revealed that the Vsps are the predo...
متن کاملMycoplasma bovis infections in cattle.
Mycoplasma bovis is a pathogen causing respiratory disease, otitis media, arthritis, mastitis, and a variety of other diseases in cattle worldwide. It is increasingly recognized by the veterinary and livestock communities as having an important impact on the health, welfare, and productivity of dairy and beef cattle. M. bovis diseases can be difficult to diagnose and control because of inconsis...
