RESUMO

Sheep industry is growing rapidly in Brazil. However many diseases are the principal bottleneck to the increasing these activities. Among the reproductive diseases the vulvo-vaginites caused by Mycoplasma play an important role. Although no studies has been carried out in brazilian sheep herd so far. For that 60 ewes were ramdomly from different flocks selected at the county of Piedade state of São Paulo, Brazil. The mucus from vulvovagina was obtained by swab for isolation and detectetion of Mycoplasma spp., Ureaplasma spp. and Acholeplasma laidlawii. Generic Mycoplasma was detected in 75% of the samples, Ureaplasma spp. in 66,7% and Acholeplasma laidwaii in 1,7%. Mycoplasma spp. was isolated 8,3% and Ureaplasma spp. in 11,7%. It was not possible the identification of the species found. There was no association of mycoplasmas in the muco on the presence of reproductive problems in the herds. At least in one case, ram with presence of Mycoplasma in the semen infected a negative ewe, suggesting the importance of the ram in spreading the bacteria in the heard.
