Nongenital Mycoplasma Infections in Cattle

R B Truscott
PMCID: PMC1789992  PMID: 7337907

Abstract

A brief definition and classification of the organisms is followed by a history of their isolation and general role in disease. Diseases associated with various types of mycoplasma are discussed under respiratory tract, mastitis, arthritis and keratoconjunctivitis. Descriptions include methods of infection, clinical signs, lesions and prognosis.
