A mycoplasma isolated from cattle with infectious bovine keratoconjunctivitis

E V Langford et al. Can J Comp Med. 1969 Oct.

Abstract

A mycoplasma has been recovered from the eyes of calves in two naturally-occurring outbreaks of infectious bovine keratoconjunctivitis; also from a third group of calves accidentally exposed to an animal which had ocular exudates from one of the outbreaks instilled into its eyes.The severity of the ocular lesions in infectious bovine keratoconjunctivis outbreaks may be related to a mixed infection with the mycoplasma and Moraxella bovis. Preliminary typing studies indicate the mycoplasma is not serologically related to any known bovine mycoplasma.
