Ovine/caprine ureaplasmas have not yet been assigned a species designation, but they have been classified into nine serotypes. Herein ureaplasmas were searched for in 120 samples of vulvo vaginal mucous from sheep and 98 samples from goats at 17 farms. In addition, semen samples were collected from 11 sheep and 23 goats.

- Economic loss in pig breeding results from respiratory disorders caused primarily by Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae and Mycoplasma hyorhinis.
- The study involved analyzing swabs from 126 pigs with respiratory issues to recover these bacteria and assess their genetic differences using techniques like pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) and 16S rRNA gene sequencing.
- Out of 59 bacterial isolates, most were Mycoplasma hyorhinis, revealing significant genetic diversity among different herds, particularly in PFGE profiles, while showing low variation in the 16S rRNA gene compared to the reference strain.
This study is the first to evaluate the occurrence of several Mollicutes species in Brazilian capuchin monkeys (Cebus spp.). Mollicutes were detected by culture and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) in samples of the oropharyngeal, conjuctiva, and genital mucosae of 58 monkeys.
