Molecular, Phylogenetic and Immunohistochemical Detection of Bovine Mycoplasmosis in Clinical and Subclinical Mastitic Cows in Wasit Province, Iraq.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Bovine mycoplasmosis is a specific emerging infectious disease worldwide that causes clinical and subclinical mastitis, which impacts the global and national economy through reducing milk production and increasing treatment costs.

Objective

The study detected the molecular prevalence of mycoplasmosis in clinical and subclinical mastitis infected lactating cows, phylogenic analysis of detected strain, immunohistochemical detection of inflammatory TNF-α and identification of udder histological alterations.

Materials and methods

Udders of 263 lactating cows from various regions of Wasit Province, Iraq, were examined clinically, and subsequently milk samples were collected. California mastitis test (CMT) was performed to all clinical and subclinical milk sample
