| molecular epidemiological analysis of mycoplasma bovis isolates from the pennsylvania animal diagnostic laboratory showing genetic diversity. | we have examined the genetic variability of mycoplasma bovis strains submitted to the pennsylvania animal diagnostics laboratory, university park (pa-adl), between december 2007 and december 2008. of 4,868 total samples submitted for mycoplasma testing, 302 were determined to be culture positive. mycoplasma bovis (63.6%), mycoplasma californicum (7.3%), mycoplasma bovirhinis (2.7%), mycoplasma bovigenitalium (0.7%), mycoplasma alkalescens (4.9%), mycoplasma putrefaciens (0.3%), and mycoplasma di ... | 2011 | 21426978 |
| Epidemiology of Mycoplasma bovis in Pennsylvania veal calves. | The objective of the study was to estimate the prevalence and incidence of Mycoplasma bovis, a common cause of pneumonia, in veal calves. Using simple random sampling, 252 calves from 4 veal herds located in central Pennsylvania were selected and longitudinally followed for monthly collection of nasal swabs. Bronchial swabs and lung lesions were collected at the slaughterhouse. Nasal, bronchial, and lung lesion swabs were cultured for bacterial respiratory pathogens. Ninety lung lesions were ide ... | 2012 | 22192204 |
