The accurate and prompt diagnosis of infectious abortions in a herd requires cooperation between the herd veterinarian and a veterinary diagnostic laboratory; working together, with good communication and appropriate sampling and testing, the chances of obtaining an etiologic diagnosis are improved. Abortion diagnosis is a challenge as a cause is usually identified in less than half of submitted fetuses. The majority of diagnosed abortions are attributed to infections by a moderate number of bacterial, viral, fungal and protozoal agents. The pathology and other findings used in the laboratory diagnosis of the major infectious agents causing bovine abortion in mid- to late-gestation will be discussed.
要准确、及时地诊断牛群中的传染性流产，需要牛群兽医与兽医诊断实验室合作；通过良好的沟通、合适的采样和检测共同努力，提高获得病因诊断的几率。流产诊断是一项挑战，因为通常在提交的胎儿中不到一半能确定病因。大多数确诊的流产归因于中等数量的细菌、病毒、真菌和原生动物病原体感染。本文将讨论妊娠中后期导致牛流产的主要传染性病原体的实验室诊断中所使用的病理学及其他检查结果。
