title: [Genital Ureaplasma diversum infection: investigations in cattle in France].
abstract: A first bacteriological study of infection by Ureaplasma diversum in cattle was performed in France on 50 bulls and 565 dairy cows. U diversum was isolated in 74% (37/50) of the bull semen and 40% (227/565) of the cows. No significant relationship was found in cows between infection and lesions of granular vulvitis, nor between infection and breeding performances. Serological studies of isolates by membrane filtration dot immunobinding showed a predominance of the serogroups B and C in males, and serogroup B in females.
