Mycoplasma Task Force
Summary
In late October 2021, the Center of Excellence for Bison Studies (BisonCOE) assembled a team of approximately 20 scientists, stewards, managers, veterinarians, and researchers as a Task Force from various sectors, agencies, universities and stakeholders to collaboratively advance research related to early detection, treatment and prevention of Mycoplasma bovis in bison.
In the 2021 season, there were 21 stakeholder-reported herd cases throughout the U.S. and Canada according to 成人视频 BisonCOE internal reports. They were widely distributed from Oregon to Pennsylvania and from Saskatchewan to Texas, with most occurring along the Great Plains. The northern Great Plains (i.e., North Dakota, South Dakota, Nebraska, Kansas, Colorado, Wyoming and Montana), where most of the current active cases occur (16/21; 76%), are home to 63% of the bison population.
