Abstract

Mycoplasma bovis-related diseases in cattle are a global issue that negatively affects
cattle husbandry in terms of both animal welfare and the economy. Many clinical
symptoms, such as mastitis, pneumonia, infertility and abortion, otitis media,
keratoconjunctivitis, and arthritis. To find gaps in our understanding of the causative
organism regarding disease pathology, diagnosis, and control techniques, we examine
and analyze the available data on diagnosis and control. The following are the main
factors to consider there are no commercially available vaccines; antimicrobial
resistance is rising; diagnostic and antimicrobial sensitivity testing need to be
improved; and a pen-side test would enable quicker diagnosis and antimicrobial
treatment implementation. It is necessary to gather more information on immune
response, stress variables, infectious dosage levels, and host susceptibility. Further
research is required to understand the effects of a symptomatic carriers, on the survival
of M. bovis in the environment. In order to accelerate the development of vaccines,
additional genomic study of M. bovis is necessary, its pathogenic mechanisms, which
include variable surface proteins, and repeatable disease models.
