  • Title: The bovine placentome in bacterial and mycotic abortions.
    Author: Johnson CT, Lupson GR, Lawrence KE.
    Journal: Vet Rec; 1994 Mar 12; 134(11):263-6. PubMed ID: 8197693.
    Abstract:
    Placentomes were extracted from the uteri of 22 aborted cows and examined to detect the cause of abortion; fetuses or fetal abomasal contents from 15 of the cows were also examined. Firm diagnoses of Pasteurella haemolytica, Actinomyces pyogenes, Listeria monocytogenes, Bacillus licheniformis, Aspergillus fumigatus or Mortierella wolfii abortion were made in 11 cases. The histopathological lesions showed some correlation with the identity of the bacterium isolated; the lesions of mycotic abortion were distinct and characterised by a coagulative necrosis. The removal of a placentome was not followed by any observable deleterious effects.
