Abstract

This study provides an overview of mycoplasma species isolated from ruminants in Bosnia and Herzegovina between 1995 and 2015. A total of 1442 samples from affected and asymptomatic cattle, sheep and goats were submitted for isolation of mycoplasmas. Mycoplasmas were isolated from 195 samples (13.5%). Mycoplasma bovis was the most frequently isolated species from pneumonic cattle and M. ovipneumoniae from affected small ruminants. The presence of some other important mycoplasmas, like M. conjunctivae, M. mycoides capri, M.c.capricolum and M. putrefaciens was confirmed.
