Abstract
Infertility is a widespread problem among cattle herds in Jamaica and an intergovernmental project was initiated to investigate the problem. One aspect of the project included diagnosis of campylobacteriosis (vibriosis), which was suspected in some herds but not confirmed in the laboratory. Tests were undertaken in late 1978 using improved techniques for handling and transporting specimens to the laboratory. Campylobacter fetus ssp. fetus was isolated from 5 of 6 herds tested. The diagnosis of C. fetus infection led to improvements in farm management and better appreciation of more efficient artificial insemination and veterinary services.
