This study aimed to provide insight into the dynamics of M. within herds, experiencing an acute outbreak cows. Twenty farms were followed with laboratory testing suspected Each farm was sampled five times, at 2-3 week intervals, sampling blood milk conjunctival fluid from clinically healthy animals three different age groups: cows, young stock (7-24...
Mycoplasma bovis outbreaks in cattle, including pathogen spread between age groups, are not well understood. Our objective was to estimate within-herd transmission across adult dairy cows, youngstock, and calves. Results from 3 tests (PCR, ELISA, culture) per cow 2 (PCR ELISA) youngstock calf were used an age-stratified susceptible-infected-removed/recovered (SIR) model parameters, pathways, potential effects of farm management practices. A cohort calves on 20 Dutch farms with a clinical...
