Since January 1978 four outbreaks of bovine venereal campylobacteriosis, associated with Campylobacter fetus subsp. fetus, have been investigated. The herds demonstrated a variety of presenting signs, and the outbreaks were confirmed by vaginal muucus agglutination tests and isolation of C. fetus subsp. fetus. A greater recovery of C. fetus was achieved by reducing the oxygen tension in the atmosphere used for incubation more than usual. Bradford's brucella agar was suitable selective medium for C. fetus.
