Abstract
Clinical ulcerative balanoposthitis and vulvovaginitis was experimenta lly reproduced in 14 sheep infected with a Mycoplasma mycoides mycoide s LC field strain, isolated from the Straussheim Dorper stud. The stud y encompassed a series of field observations, a therapeutic trial and experimental investigations. A wide range of bacteria and various myco plasma spp., but no viruses, were isolated from a large number of infe cted animals.
