M. bovis

M. bovis (Mycoplasma bovis) in NZ

Hi all, we’re having a serious problem with M. bovis, or  Mycoplasma bovis in NZ. It is not yet endemic here, as it in many other places.

Many people locally have been getting increasingly frustrated at the lack of information they’ve been able to find and asked for more specifics. People told me they want more information than they’re getting from the media.

I put something together for those of you who are interested on my veterinary website.

Four hours ago I created and shared the below page on only four FB pages and in that time, that new webpage has taken almost 500 hits.

I’m just a horse vet, but I can at least try to decipher some vet language for you and let you get the info…  straight from the horse’s mouth, as it were.

Here’s the link:

My best wishes to all of you and your beasties in this trying time.
