Researchers have developed a DNA based test that detects vibriosis (vibrio) in cattle more accurately than current tests.
Vibrio is a common cause of reproductive failure in Canadian cow-calf herds, caused by the bacteria campylobacteur. It’s not common in confined herds, but is seen more in community pastures and other areas where cows and bulls from different herds commingle. Vaccines are available and recommended for cows and bulls being sent to community pasture.
