Surveillance of Mycoplasma agalactiae and Mycoplasma mycoides subsp. capri in dairy goat herds
چکیده انگلیسی

This study was designed to monitor the presence of Mycoplasma agalactiae and Mycoplasma mycoides subsp. capri (Mmc) in 66 dairy goat herds of a genetic improvement programme in a region of Spain where contagious agalactia is endemic. Over a whole lactation period, 300 bulk tank milk and 381 milk samples from goats with clinical mastitis were subjected to polymerase chain reaction (PCR) to detect the two mycoplasma species. The presence of mycoplasmas (either species or both) was detected in 66.7% of the herds and M. agalactiae was identified in 95.45% of these positives herds. In a given infected herd, mycoplasmas were not continuously detected over the whole study period. Our findings indicate that in an endemic area, M. agalactiae and Mmc can be monitored through PCR analysis of mastitic milk and bulk tank milk (BTM) samples. Over a lactation period we recommend testing multiple BTM samples on a herd. No relationship was observed between the use of inactivated mycoplasma vaccines and the PCR detection of both mycoplasmas.
