| Popis: | Rates of natural infection of macaques with microorganisms that cause urogenital tract infections (UGT)--chlamydias, mycoplasms, ureaplasms and trichomonades--have been assessed. 198 macaques (rhesus, javan and lapunder) aged from newborn to 25 years (born healthy or from females with complicated pregnancy or labour) were examined. High rate of infection (40%) was observed in healthy macaques by PCR assay. In animals born from females with complicated pregnancy or labour (abortion, complicated labour, stillbirth or inflammatory postdelivery complications) rate of pathogens detection was significantly higher (up to 54,5 - 64,5%). In such animals mixed infection with 2 - 4 microorganisms in association was commonly observed. Births of weak, low weight and vitality monkey's calves was observed in infected macaques aged 17 - 25 years. Pathogens' nucleotide sequences that were analogous to ones detected in mothers were detected in calves that died during 1st month of life. This finding can be the evidence of the intrauterine infection of calves. |
