Molecular Detection of Hemoplasma Species (Mycoplasma spp.) in Cattle in Cebu, Philippines
Epidemiological reports on vector-borne diseases affecting cattle in the Philippines have been limited. The present study aimed to detect the presence of the Hemoplasma pathogen (Mycoplasma spp.) in dispersal cattle in selected plainlands and marginal uplands in Cebu, Philippines, using peripheral b...
