%0 Journal Article %T Interference of Mycoplasma spp. or Ureaplasma spp. in Ovine Semen Quality %J Journal of Microbiology Research %@ 2166-5931 %D 2012 %I %R 10.5923/j.microbiology.20120205.01 %X The presence of mycoplasma in ovine semen was associated in 9.09% (3/33) to the microscopic and macroscopic alterations of this fluid. Mycoplasma spp. was isolated in 36.36% (12/33) from semen samples while Ureaplasma spp. was isolated in 12.12% (4/33). The mollicute infection rates in studied semen samples indicated that the diagnosis of these bacteria in ovine must be a routine procedure for the quality of this biological product. %K Mycoplasma %K Ureaplasma %K Ovine Semen %U http://article.sapub.org/10.5923.j.microbiology.20120205.01.html
