The aim of this study was to screen selected Czech dairy cattle farms for presence of Mycoplasma bovis. Between 2012 and 2014, 160 individual samples of cow milk, 60 colostrum samples, and 105 bulk-tank milk samples collected on 21 dairy farms were analyzed in our laboratory. DNA was extracted from samples and tested by quantitative PCR assay for M. bovis. All analyzed samples were negative. Results support long-term trend of very low prevalence of M. bovis in the Czech Republic.
