| Research Abstract |
Bovine mastitis due to Prototheca zopfii leads to reduced milk production and is difficult to cure. Therefore, preventlon is the best approach and this is best achieved through theuse of effective antifugal drugs and disinfectants. The 18S rDNA sequences of diverse clinical speclmens from different areas in Japan were studied to clarify the pathogenicity of P zopLfii var. zopfii.All isolates from bovine mastitis in Japan were identified as.P. zopfii genotype 2. Therefore, P zopfii var.zopfii genotype 2 is associated with bovine mastitis.
