Genotypic diversity in field isolates of Babesia bovis from cattle with babesiosis after vaccination.
Aust Vet J
August 1997
Animal Research Institute, Queensland Department of Primary Industries, Moorooka.
Objective: To determine whether particular genotypes of Babesia bovis were common to field isolates obtained from cattle properties in Queensland where the B bovis vaccine had apparently failed.
Design: A comparative study of polymerase chain reaction genotypes in different populations of B bovis.
Procedure: Two polymerase chain reaction assays were applied to analyse DNA extracts of B bovis vaccine (K, T and Dixie strains) and 27 field isolates from 24 properties where disease outbreaks had occurred despite the use of the vaccine.
Studies on failure of T strain live Babesia bovis vaccine.
Aust Vet J
August 1995
Tick Fever Research Centre, Wacol, Queensland.
Field investigations of the protection afforded by the Australian live Babesia bovis vaccine used in the early 1990s (T strain) revealed inadequate vaccine-induced protection in certain herds. Vaccination/challenge trials using 207 experimental cattle were conducted to evaluate the protection afforded by T strain B bovis against field isolates from these herds. The trials investigated whether isolates that could 'break-through' T strain immunity were present in the field, the ability or inability of specific cattle to develop protective immunity after vaccination with T strain and the effect of attenuation and maintenance procedures on the immunogenicity of T strain.

Under experimental conditions they have been shown to cause mastitis in cattle, goats and mice, and observations made on naturally-occurring bovine pneumonia, as well as the results of experimental inoculation, suggest that ureaplasmas are responsible for a portion of bovine cuffing pneumonia. Ureaplasmas have been isolated from the genital tract of a wide variety of animals and have the potential for causing disease in this anatomical area, as the results of experimental intra-urethral inoculation of goats, for example, indicate.

One strain (designated T) was shown to be infective for the tick, and the other (NT) to have lost infectivity for the tick, because of repeated blood passaging in cattle. Parasites of the 2 strains in gut contents of adult female ticks were similar during the first 16 h post-repletion (PR), but thereafter their structure differed.

April 1975
Samples of cervico-vaginal mucus from 633 animals from 110 herds were cultured and yielded the following mycoplasmas: T-strain--88: Mycoplasma bovigenitalium--79, Mycoplasma spp. (Leach Group 7)--7, Acholeplasma laidlawii--4, Mycoplasma bovirhinis--2 and one not typable. Uterine exudates and endometrial scrapings from 80 infertile cows in two herds were examined.
