Corrigendum to “A survey on the incidence of Prototheca mastitis in dairy herds in Lublin province, Poland” (J. Dairy Sci. 102:619–628)

Abstract

In the abstract on page 619, the 13th sentence should read “All (44) Prototheca isolates recovered in this study were subjected to species- and genotype-level molecular identification.” On page 623, in the section Identification of Udder Infection, the second sentence should read “The proportion of CMT-positive cows in a sampled herd ranged from 37.5% (farm VI) to 85.7% (farm II), with a mean of 58.1%.” On page 625, in the section Prototheca spp. Genotyping, the second sentence should read “Among 19 isolates from animal swabs and stool, 15 isolates were P. zopfii gen. 2, 2 isolates were P. zopfii gen. 1, and 2 isolates were P. blaschkeae. All corrections are shown in bold. The authors regret the errors. A survey on the incidence of Prototheca mastitis in dairy herds in Lublin province, PolandJournal of Dairy ScienceVol. 102Issue 1PreviewPrototheca mastitis has recently become an emerging disease; although its incidence is increasing steadily, its epidemiology remains largely understudied. The aim of this work was to investigate the prevalence of Prototheca spp. in dairy cows and their environment in Lublin province, covering most of southeastern Poland. Between December 2015 and July 2016, a total of 172 milking cows from 10 dairy farms were inspected for mastitis using clinical examination and the California Mastitis Test (CMT).
