| Identification of a Mycoplasma ovis-like organism in a herd of farmed white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) in rural Indiana. | Mycoplasma ovis is a hemoplasma parasite of sheep, goats, and reindeer; however, natural hemoplasma infection in white-tailed deer has not previously been reported. Subsequent to finding many coccoid, bacillary, and ring-shaped organisms, consistent with hemotropic mycoplasmas, on RBCs from a 72-day-old female white-tailed fawn, we sought to (1) identify the putative hemoplasma observed in blood from the fawn, (2) evaluate others in the herd for hemoplasma infection, and (3) identify clinicopath ... | 2011 | 22112325 |
| detection of hemoplasma infection of goats by use of a quantitative polymerase chain reaction assay and risk factor analysis for infection. | objective to develop and validate a real-time quantitative pcr (qpcr) assay for the detection and quantification of mycoplasma ovis in goats and investigate the prevalence and risk factors for hemoplasma infection of goats located in indiana. animals 362 adult female goats on 61 farms. procedures primers were designed for amplification of a fragment of the dnak gene of m ovis by use of a qpcr assay. blood samples were collected into edta-containing tubes for use in total dna extraction, blood fi ... | 2016 | 27463552 |
