Abstract :Abortion is one of the most important problems in animal husbandry due to its hindrance in obtaining offspring, labor, and economic losses. Although Mycoplasma bovis insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(M. bovis); and Ureaplasma diversum insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(U. diversum); are the bacteria found in the genital flora, they are considered as important pathogens that cause bacterial abortion. The aim of this study was to investigate the presence of M. bovis and U. diversum in aborted cattle fetuses from Northeastern Anatolia province by PCR method. In this study, a total of 187 cattle fetuses samples insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(lung and liver tissues and abomasum content of fetuses); were examined from March to June 2019. The fetuses samples were taken from the provinces of Ağrı, Ardahan, Artvin, Erzincan, Erzurum, Gümüşhane, Iğdır, and Kars. M. bovis was positive in 4.8% insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(9/187); and U. diversum was positive in 2.7% insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(5/187); of the fetus samples. As a result, both agents should be considered in routine investigations when investigating the infectious causes of abortion cases. Further studies may be beneficial to determine the pathogenicity and type strains of M. bovis and U. diversum in aborted cattle fetuses.
