Blood samples from 78 cattle were tested for hemoplasma infection using molecular methods. PCR and sequence analysis revealed that 17 cattle were infected with Mycoplasma wenyonii, while 13 were infected with 'Candidatus Mycoplasma haemobos'. Four animals were infected with both species. This is the first study to report hemoplasma species infection among cattle in Japan.
使用分子方法对78头牛的血液样本进行了血支原体感染检测。PCR和序列分析显示,17头牛感染了温氏支原体,13头牛感染了“嗜血性支原体候选种”。4头牛同时感染了这两种支原体。这是日本首次报道牛血支原体感染的研究。
