“…Thus ai is a potential route of transmission. The effects on semen quality are controversial, but M bovis ‐infected semen has been associated with reduced conception rates (Nicholas and Ayling 2003) and M bovigenitalium may cause low spermatozoa motility (Jurmanova and Sterbova 1977). However, in a study in Germany, M bovis was not found in commercial frozen semen samples and was present in less than 1 per cent of preputial washings from commercial ai bulls, while M bovigenitalium was isolated from 1·6 per cent of frozen semen samples (Kirchhoff and Binder 1986).…”

The presence of mycoplasma in ovine semen was associated in 9.09% (3/ 33) to the microscopic and macroscopic alterations of this fluid. Mycoplasma spp. was isolated in 36.36% (12/33) fro m semen samples while Ureaplasma spp. was isolated in 12.12% (4/ 33). The mo llicute infection rates in studied semen samples indicated that the diagnosis of these bacteria in ovine must be a routine procedure for the quality of this biological product.

“…Mycoplasmas have been found in the semen of a variety of mammals including pigs (Stipkovits, Rashwan, Takacs & Lapis, 1978), sheep (Jones & Rae, 1979), bulls (Jurmanova & Sterbova, 1977), stallions (Kirchoff, Naglie & Heitmann, 1979), chimpanzees (Swenson & O'Leary, 1977) and men (O'Leary & Frick, 1975). In bulls (Stalheim & Gallagher, 1977) and men (Gnarpe & Friberg, 1973b;Fowlkes, Dooher & O'Leary, 1975) genital mycoplasmas have been shown to adhere to spermatozoa and colonies of several species of mycoplasma on agar will adsorb spermatozoa (Taylor-Robinson & Manchee, 1967).…”

“…In bulls (Stalheim & Gallagher, 1977) and men (Gnarpe & Friberg, 1973b;Fowlkes, Dooher & O'Leary, 1975) genital mycoplasmas have been shown to adhere to spermatozoa and colonies of several species of mycoplasma on agar will adsorb spermatozoa (Taylor-Robinson & Manchee, 1967). The natural presence of mycoplasmas in the semen has been associated with impaired sperm motility in men (Fowlkes, MacLeod & O'Leary, 1975;Swenson, Toth & O'Leary, 1979) and bulls (Jurmanova & Sterbova, 1977). In the studies presented here, incubation of epididymal spermatozoa with M. pulmonis in vitro before insemination did not appear to affect the motility of uterine spermatozoa.…”

Effect of Mycoplasma pulmonis on in-vivo fertilization in the mouse

When fresh, epididymal mouse spermatozoa were incubated with viable Mycoplasma pulmonis, the mycoplasma adhered to the heads and tails of spermatozoa. Spermatozoa that had been preincubated with M. pulmonis in phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) and spermatozoa incubated in PBS alone were inseminated into the uterine horns of mice induced to superovulate. The mycoplasma treatment resulted in a reduced rate of fertilization and a decrease in the number of spermatozoa associated with eggs recovered from the oviduct at 5--18 h after ovulation. The percentage of spermatozoa recovered from the oviduct with adherent mycoplasmas, as determined by fluorescence microscopy, was lower than that seen in the uterus. Mycoplasma treatment of spermatozoa inseminated directly into the ovarian bursa did not result in a reduced fertilization rate. The results suggest that M. pulmonis adversely affects sperm transport through the female reproductive tract in the mouse.
