Abstract

Bovine genital campylobacteriosis is a venereal disease of cattle of world distribution, which causes great economic losses in livestock, its etiological agents are Campylobacter fetus that causes digestive tract infections of sheep and cattle, and campylobacter fetus veneralis that is lodged in the reproductive tract of females and males. Risk factors include direct mating, presence of small ruminants in livestock and non-compliance with biosecurity measures. This disease is asymptomatic in the bulls, but in the females, it causes a decrease in the rate of pregnancy, abortions and embryo death. Bacteria isolation is the most effective method for identifying subspecies of Campylobacter fetus, but it is a time-consuming and labor-intensive technique due to its high requirements and slow development. Immunofluorescence, immunohistochemistry and polymerase chain reaction are techniques that currently improve their identification, since they have high specificity and sensitivity to Campylobacter fetus, by optimizing the evaluation of bovine populations with high density. The purpose of the review is to describe the current methods for the identification of the disease in cattle farming, and so be able to take preventive and healing to control this pathology.
