Kit Description


Specific kit for the qualitative, rapid and specific detection of Mycoplasma agalactiae in milk samples

Agalactia contagiosa is a serious infectious disease of sheep and goats characterized by mastitis, arthritis, keratoconjunctivitis and occasionally, abortion.

Contagious agalactia is a disease endemic to the Mediterranean areas that affects dairy farming with serious economic implications for the farmer who in most cases loses an entire year's lactation.

The pathogen is a bacterium (Mycoplasma agalactiae) genetically resistant to the most common antibiotics. The disease is characterized by extremely high morbidity, spreading rapidly through the flock through milking.

It manifests itself with a brief fever followed by a sudden drop in milk production in the herd. The milk, in addition to drastically decreasing in quantity, appears altered, modified in color and density, unusable for production.

The disease does not stop until the lactation period is underway. Pregnant animals may abort.
