A survey of bovine campylobacteriosis in breeding bulls and cows was carried out in the states of Kaduna, Kano and Borno. Six hundred and eighty nine cattle composed of 585 and 104 breeding bulls and cows respectively were sampled. Campylobacter fetus subsp. venerealis was isolated from 12 bulls while Campylobacter fetus subsp. fetus was isolated from three of them. Campylobacter fetus subsp. fetus was isolated from four cows while Campylobacter fetus subsp. veneralis was isolated from one cow. The overall prevalence of campylobacteriosis in the three states was 2.9% (20/689). The result of the study identifies Campylobacter fetus subsp. venerealis as the agent of enzootic infertility in Nigeria and suggests that it may be a significant problem.
在卡杜纳州、卡诺州和博尔诺州开展了一项针对种公牛和母牛弯曲杆菌病的调查。共对689头牛进行了采样，其中包括585头种公牛和104头母牛。从12头公牛中分离出胎儿弯曲杆菌性病亚种，其中3头还分离出胎儿弯曲杆菌胎儿亚种。从4头母牛中分离出胎儿弯曲杆菌胎儿亚种，1头母牛中分离出胎儿弯曲杆菌性病亚种。这三个州弯曲杆菌病的总体患病率为2.9%（20/689）。该研究结果确定胎儿弯曲杆菌性病亚种是尼日利亚地方流行性不育症的病原体，并表明这可能是一个重大问题。
