Abstract
Bovine genital vibriosis is worldwide in distribution. The disease is transmitted venereally and causes temporary infertility in the female. The pathogenesis is described in detail to form a basis for tentative diagnosis of the disease in the infected herd. The diagnosis must then be confirmed by laboratory methods. Control procedures including exclusive artificial insemination and vaccination are described.
