Abstract | ||||
Out of 133 semen samples collected from normally and clinically abnormal genitalia, 50 strains of C. ovis was recovered in associa tion with C. Pyogenes in 5 cases haemolytic streptococci in 8, Staph. aureus in 4 and E. coli in 3. C. ovis was also isolated in pure culture from pathological lesions in the reproductive organs and the regional lymph nodes of 13 slaughtered rams. A bacteriological study of all the recovered C. ovis strains as well as the identification of other isolates was performed. Dissimination of the isolates in the semen, despite of failure of isolation from testicles, was discussed. | ||||
