| Summary |
"Mycoplasmas are the smallest of free-living organisms and are intermediate between viruses and bacteria. Many species thrive as parasites in animal (including human) hosts. This book is based on proceedings of a conference held in Palermo, Italy. It reviews some of the most important mycoplasma diseases of sheep, goats and cattle including contagious bovine pleuropneumonia, contagious agalactia and calf pneumonia, which are listed by the OIE because of their economic implications."-- Taken from publisher website |

This book presents data on research and development carried out on mycoplasma diseases of sheep, goats and cattle over the last decade by laboratories worldwide. Chapters include discussions on the isolation and growth of mycoplasmas from ruminants, detection and differentiation of Mycoplasma spp. using polymerase chain reaction (PCR)/gradient gel electrophoresis, molecular typing of Mycoplasma spp., antigenic analysis of mycoplasmas, antimicrobial sensitivity testing, contagious bovine pleuropneumonia, contagious agalactia, contagious caprine pleuropneumonia, bovine respiratory diseases, respiratory diseases of small ruminants, eye infections, reproductive diseases of cattle and emerging and unculturable Mycoplasma spp |
