INTRODUCTION Bovine mycoplasma, chiefly Mycoplasma bovis, is a pathogen that causes pneumonia, mastitis, arthritis, and otitis media in cattle. This pathogen exerts immunosuppressive effects, such as the inhibition of interferon production. However, the mechanisms involved in bovine mycoplasmosis have not been fully elucidated. In this study, we investigated the role of the programmed death-1 (...

The state of the immune system newborn animals largely determines their further development, morbidity, and productive qualities. Various diseases pregnant to a certain extent affect body fetus, this is especially true if disease characterized by an erased clinical picture it difficult diagnose in timely manner. One these genital mycoplasmosis cattle, which widespread both our country abroad. D...

Since 1954, avian mycoplasmosis has been considered a significant problem in chicken flocks in Japan and in other Asian countries. In Japan, Mycoplasma gallisepticum (MG) and M. synoviae (MS) infections were confirmed aetiologically in chicken flocks affected with respiratory disease or synovitis in 1962 and 1973, respectively. In other Asian countries, including Indonesia, the People's Republi...

Mycoplasma gallisepticum and Mycoplasma synoviae are the causative agents of avian mycoplasmosis in commercial poultry. Among the available tools, polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and culture are confirmatory tools for the diagnosis of mycoplasmosis after the initial serological screening of suspected birds. Overall, 181 samples were analyzed, 152 (84%) and 103 (57%) of which were found positive...

Genital mycoplasmosis in cows is a disease accompanied by latent course, which complicates its timely diagnosis and the appointment of specific treatment. This may lead to infertility. An obstacle introduction pathogens into epithelium mucous membrane variety defense mechanisms. A study state protective properties vaginal mucosa healthy mycoplasma-infected was carried out determining concentrat...

We report an outbreak of severe respiratory disease associated with a novel Mycoplasma species in ferrets. During 2009-2012, a respiratory disease characterized by nonproductive coughing affected ≈8,000 ferrets, 6-8 weeks of age, which had been imported from a breeding facility in Canada. Almost 95% became ill, but almost none died. Treatments temporarily decreased all clinical signs except cou...
