- A total of 66 Mycoplasma spp. positive herds were identified in Israel (2004-2014).
- Sixty herds were positive for M.âbovis during this period.
- Sequence type 10 was the most dominant M.âbovis genotype identified by MLST.
- M.âbovis is the main mycoplasmal mastitic pathogen in Israel.
The prevalence of Mycoplasma bovis in milk samples submitted to the Israeli National Service for Udder Health and Milk Quality was determined during the period 2004-2014 and the genetic pattern of the obtained isolates was assessed by multilocus sequence typing (MLST). Mycoplasma spp. were identified in 66 herds including M.âbovis (nâ=â60), M.âcottewii (nâ=â3), M.âbovigenitalium (nâ=â2), M.âalkalescens (nâ=â2) and M.âyeatsii (nâ=â1). The proportion of M.âbovis infected herds was relatively low (0-0.68%) in 2004-2007, increased to 3.77% during the 2008 outbreak, and ranged from 0.77 to 2.77% during the 2009-2014 period. Since 2008, about eight M.âbovis positive dairy herds have been identified in Israel annually, with six of which on average being newly infected. MLST of 57âM.âbovis isolates revealed that sequence type 10 was the dominant genotype identified in 60% of the herds. In conclusion, these data show that M.âbovis is the main mycoplasmal mastitic pathogen in Israel.
