Mycoplasmosis: Experimental Inoculation of Calves with a Danish Strain of Mycoplasma Bovigenitalium
Acta Veterinaria Scandinavica volume 10, pages 106–107 (1969)
Abstract
During the fall of 1966 several strains of Mycoplasma were isolated from semen samples of bulls. A strain, “K”, isolated from a bull with vesiculitis was selected for a series of experiments and proved to be pathogenic for the mammary gland of cows and for the genital tract of bulls (Ernø 1967, Blom & Εrnø 1967). The “K” strain has now been examined serologically by the author, and it must be considered as belonging to the species M. bovigenitalium as determined by complement fixation and indirect haemagglutination tests. This communication reports the results of experimental inoculation of calves.
