Examination of the infectious respiratory diseases of ruminants

Identification of the bacteria and viruses having etiologic role in the respiratory diseases of cattle, sheep and goats, study of the cultural, biochemical, serological and genetic characteristics of bacteria (Mannheimia haemolytica, Pasteurella multocida, Bibersteinia trehalosi, Histophilus somni), examination of pathogenesis, development of diagnosis, therapy, prevention and control.

Comparative examination of Histophilus somni strains isolated from farm animals

Histophilus somni strains cause respiratory disease and thromboembolic meningoencephalitist in calves and epididymitis and orchitis in sheep, however they can be detected sporadically in cases abortions. The aim of the examinations is comparison of H. somni strains isolated from different animal species and diseases on the basis of metabolic profile and genome structure.
