Abstract

A monoclonal antibody blocking enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (B-ELISA) was developed to detect antibodies to Mycoplasma bovis in cattle sera. The assay was highly specific and sensitive and there was no cross-reaction detected. This method revealed a high prevalence of antibodies (60%) to M. bovis in dairy cattle in North Queensland. The diagnostic potential of this B-ELISA for the detection of antibody to M. bovis was compared with its detection by PCR. There was a strong positive correlation between PCR and B-ELISA titers. Thus, the B-ELISA appears to be a valuable and reproducible tool in the serodiagnosis of M. bovis infection in cattle.
