P. R. aCampilobacteriose genital bovina em rebanhos leiteiros com problemas reprodutivos da microrregião de Varginha - Minas Gerais. c2003 aThe frequency of bovine genital campylobacteriosis (BGC) in 157 cows from nine herds from the microregion of Varginha - Minas Gerais - Brazil was evaluated. Farmers use either artificial insemination and natural breeding after two insemination procedures or natural breeding. The diagnosis of BGC was performed by the direct fluorescent antibody test (DFAT) using vaginal mucus. All studied herds showed C. fetus infected animals and, 157 animals, 40 (25,5%) were positive in DFAT: 7 (26,9%) from herds with natural breeding and 33 (25,1%) from herds with both insemination and natural breedings after the second-to-third insemination. The high frequency of BGC found in this study shows that this disease is present among herds which have reproductive problems and the use of natural breeding after the second-to-third unsuccessful insemination could be a risk factor for the disease. aartificial insemination aepidemiology aBovino aCampylobacter Fetus aDoença aEpidemiologia aInseminação Artificial aBovine aBovine genital campylobacteriosis aCampilobacteriose genital bovina aDisease aMonta natural1 aPELLEGRIN, A.
