Abstract
Granular vulvitis was reproduced in ten virgin heifers following vulvar inoculation with strains of ureaplasma previously isolated from natural cases. The disease appeared 1-3 days post-inoculation and was characterized by vulvar swabs, but not from the upper mucopurulent discharge. At necropsy 13-41 days later, ureaplasmas were recovered consistently from vulvar swabs but not from the upper reproductive tract. It was concluded that some strains of ureaplasma are pathogenic and should be viewed as a cause of bovine granular vulvitis.This publication has 14 references indexed in Scilit:
