Taylorella equigenitalis is the causative agent of Contagious Equine Metritis (CEM) and is a severe epidemic that causes interim infertility in the horse nurture industry. Nowadays, the Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) technique is applied to detect these bacteria as one of the most sensitive and the fastest methods. In the current study, T. equigenitalis was followed by sampling from northwest of Iran in summer 2021 in clitoris sinusoidal-fossa and urinary tract in 210 mares and 30 stallions. Mares’ age range was 3 to 20 years old and stallions’ age range was 4 to 10 years old. Two swabs one for culture, and the other was used for PCR in equine clitoris sinusoidal and mares’ urinary tract sinus. They were transferred to the veterinary microbiology laboratory of the University of Tabriz. In received samples, investigation with bacterial culture metho.. Read More»
