Abstract

Background: Mycoplasma bovis causes several diseases in cattle. It contributes in chronic pneumoniae and mastitis so it causes economical losses. Aim: Serological surveillance of Mycoplasma bovis in Khartoum state, Sudan. Methodology: Serum samples (No.180) were collected randomly and tested using BIO-X M. bovis antibody ELISA Kit. Results: The seroprevalence of M. bovis was 7.2% (13 out of 180). The cattle aging 2 to 5year recorded the highest seroprevalence (9.1%), followed by less than 2 year-old (6.6%) and older than 5 year-old (5.6%). Based on gender distribution, females record 8.8% seropositive of M. bovis antibodies in comparison of 5.5% of the males. There is correlation between serum tests and gender (.391) with confidence intervals 95%, P value .05. The correlation between serum tests and age of tested group was (.839) with confidence intervals 95% with P value .05. Conclusion: These findings showed that M. bovis is existed and special consideration must be taken to control the disease. No previous serological investigation for the disease has been attempts in Sudan.
