    Abstract The antimicrobial tylosin is commonly used to control mycoplasma infections, sometimes in combination with vaccination. However, the efficacy of a live mycoplasma vaccine, when combined with subsequent antimicrobial treatment, against the effects of subsequent infection with a virulent strain is unknown. This study employed differential gene expression analysis to evaluate the effects of tylosin on the protection provided by the live attenuated Vaxsafe MG ts-304 vaccine, which has been shown to be safe and to provide long-term protective immunity against infection with Mycoplasma gallisepticum. The transcriptional profiles of the tracheal mucosa revealed significantly enhanced inflammation, immune cell proliferation and adaptive immune responses in unvaccinated, untreated birds and in unvaccinated birds treated with tylosin 2 weeks after infection with virulent M. gallisepticum. These responses, indicative of the typical immune dysregulation caused by infection with M. gallisepticum, were less severe in the unvaccinated, tylosin-treated birds than in the unvaccinated, untreated birds. This was attributable to the effect of residual levels of tylosin in the tracheal mucosa on replication of virulent M. gallisepticum. These responses were not detected in vaccinated, tylosin-treated birds or in vaccinated, untreated birds after infection. The tracheal mucosal transcriptional profiles of these birds resembled those of unvaccinated, untreated, uninfected birds, suggesting a rapid and protective secondary immune response and effective vaccination. Overall, these results show that, although tylosin treatment reduced the duration of immunity, the initial protective immunity induced by Vaxsafe MG ts-304 lasted for at least 22 weeks after vaccination, even after the administration of tylosin for 16 weeks following vaccination.

    Abstract Infection with Mycoplasma bovis has been identified as a growing threat in dairy industries worldwide and there is an urgent need for an inexpensive and accurate herd-level screening tool to identify herds that have been exposed to M. bovis. This study aimed to evaluate the use of the MilA ELISA for testing bulk tank milk (BTM) samples for antibodies against M. bovis and estimate a suitable cut-off and diagnostic sensitivity (DSe) and specificity (DSp) for this assay. An optimal cut-off was then applied for investigating the geographical and seasonal distribution of infection with M. bovis in Australia. A total of 5554 BTM samples from 2683 dairy herds were collected during March, August and December 2017. BTM samples were tested in the MilA ELISA and a cut-off of 29 antibody units (AU) was estimated to be optimal using Bayesian latent class analysis which makes no assumption about the true disease status of herds under investigation. At this cut-off, the DSe and DSp were estimated to be 96.6% (95% highest probability density [HPD] interval: 87.0, 99.8) and 94.2% (95% HPD: 89.9, 97.4), respectively. The diagnostic specifications were found to vary markedly with stage of the production cycle, suggesting that targeted sampling was needed to maximize accuracy. We also found distinct differences in the apparent prevalence of M. bovis in different dairying regions, as well as seasonal variation. The highest apparent prevalence of M. bovis was observed in samples collected in March and an overall drop in the proportion of positive herds was seen from March to December. Overall, this study provides insights into the dynamics of BTM antibodies against M. bovis in Australian dairy herds and how the MilA ELISA can be applied for bulk tank milk testing.
