    Light microscopic examination of blood smears from shorthorn cows. Numerous extracellular parasites, consistent with M. wenyonii, were observed both on the surface of erythrocytes and in the plasma space (arrows). The organisms were small, basophilic, coccus-shaped and ring-shaped, and affected nearly 100% of the erythrocytes.

    PCR based detection of M. wenyonii 16S rRNA in shorthorn cows. The amplified 341 bp product, from the positive sample control (line 1) and positive test samples (lines 2-4) were subjected to electrophoresis in 1.2%-agarose gel and stained with ethidium bromide. Marker 2000 (M) and a negative control free of DNA template (line 5) were run in parallel.
