| horse species symposium: contagious equine metritis: an insidious threat to the horse breeding industry in the united states. | contagious equine metritis (cem) has given rise to international concern since it was first recognized as a novel venereal disease of equids in 1977 and the etiologic agent was identified as a previously undescribed bacterium, taylorella equigenitalis. horse industry concerns over cem centered on the ease with which this bacterium could be disseminated, the significance of t. equigenitalis as a cause of short-term infertility in the mare, and the existence of the carrier state in the stallion an ... | 2010 | 20889687 |
| diagnostic and epidemiologic analysis of the 2008-2010 investigation of a multi-year outbreak of contagious equine metritis in the united states. | contagious equine metritis (cem) is a highly contagious venereal disease of horses caused by taylorella equigenitalis. during testing for semen export purposes, a stallion in kentucky was found to be t. equigenitalis culture positive in december of 2008. this finding triggered an extensive regulatory investigation to search for additional positive horses, determine the extent of the outbreak, identify the potential source of the outbreak, and ultimately return the united states to cem-free statu ... | 2011 | 21715032 |
| taylorella asinigenitalis sp. nov., a bacterium isolated from the genital tract of male donkeys (equus asinus). | three bacterial isolates that were phenotypically indistinguishable from taylorella equigenitalis were obtained from the urethral fossae of three male donkeys (equus asinus), one located in the state of california and the other two in the state of kentucky, usa. based on results of pulsed-field gel electrophoresis, the isolate from california differed from the two kentucky isolates, which were the same. mares bred artificially (california) or naturally (kentucky) did not show signs of disease, e ... | 2001 | 11411723 |
| molecular genotyping by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis of restricted genomic dna of strains of taylorella equigenitalis isolated in ireland and in the united states. | the profiles, after digestion with apai or noti and pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (pfge), of genomic dna from 18 strains of taylorella equigenitalis isolated in ireland were of three different types. the 13 strains in one of these types gave pfge profiles identical to that of an american prototype strain, kentucky 188, but different from strain nctc11184t and from a strain isolated in japan. eight additional strains isolated in the united states gave four distinct types of genomic pfge profil ... | 1998 | 9686436 |
