The incidence of Mycoplasma bovis mastitis in Croatia

Clinical characteristics of mastitis supported by the results of microbiological examination, definitely confirm our supposition that a great number of animals housed on farm resisting antibiotic therapy are infected with M. bovis. This is the first finding of mycoplasmal mastitis caused by this M. bovis in Croatia. During last 30 years (Naglić, 2005) the great number of bovine milk originated from large and small farms was on appropriate media unsuccessfully examined for mycoplasmal. Infection in Bacteriological laboratory of our Department. It is obviously that infection with M. bovis was imported in recent years with imported cows from abroad. As bovine mycoplasmal mastitis might be a major udder health problem in dairy cattle there is an urgent necessity of coordinated action of veterinary diagnostic laboratories and veterinary authorities in identifying the distribution and control of this infection in Croatia.
