Detection of antibody against Mycoplasma mycoides subsp mycoides in cattle by an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.

The results of an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) For the detection of antibody against Mycoplasma mycoides subsp mycoides are presented. Antibody was detected in the sera of cattle at least 19 months after recovery from an infection and at least 23 months after vaccination. Almost half the sera of some animals in an area of Nigera where contagious bovine pleuropneumonia is enzootic contained antibody. Antibody was rarely detected when the same sera were examined by other established serological tests, emphasising the sensitivity of the ELISA.

The T1 vaccine used in the control of contagious bovine pleuropneumonia in Nigeria.

A lyophilised T1 vaccine was produced by direct lyophilisation of a 72-hour broth culture to which 10% sterile sucrose solution was added. Each vial contained 2 ml to make a total of 10 doses when reconstituted. Each ml of the product contained an average of 109 colony forming units of the organism. When injected at the tip of the tail or subcutaneously behind the shoulder of 2,000 zebu and 1,0000 Ndama cattle, no outward reactions were observed. 12 zebu cattle were vaccinated and challenged 6 months later by direct contact with artificially infected cattle for 4 months. All the animals were completely protected against the disease.

In vitro antimicrobial sensitivity of Mycoplasmas isolated from the bovine genital tract.

The in vitro antimicrobial sensitivity of 14 mycoplasma and 13 ureaplasma strains isolated from the genital tracts of bulls was examined. It was found that at relatively low concentrations, tetracycline, declomycin and tylosin were lethal to both types of organisms. Lincospectin, berenil, streptomycin and erythromycin were lethal to mycoplasmas but were only inhibitory to the ureaplasma strains at the same concentrations. Polymyxin B and novobiocin were ineffective at the levels tested.
