Granular vulvitis was reproduced in ten virgin heifers following vulvar inoculation with strains of ureaplasma previously isolated from natural cases. The disease appeared one to three days postinoculation and was characterized by vulvar swabs but not from the upper mucopurulent discharge. At necropsy 13 to 41 days later, ureaplasmas were recovered consistently from vulvar swabs but not from the upper reproductive tract. It was concluded that some strains of ureaplasma are pathogenic and should be viewed as a cause of bovine granular vulvitis.
在用先前从自然病例中分离出的脲原体菌株对外阴进行接种后，十头未孕小母牛出现了颗粒性外阴炎。该病在接种后1至3天出现，其特征是外阴有拭子，但上生殖道没有黏液脓性分泌物。在13至41天后进行尸检时，始终能从外阴拭子中分离出脲原体，但在上生殖道中未分离到。得出的结论是，某些脲原体菌株具有致病性，应被视为牛颗粒性外阴炎的一个病因。
