RESUMEN

In late summer 2014, an outbreak of ocular disease occurred in the Norwegian muskox (Ovibos moschatus) population. Animals showed rings of pus around their eyes and one euthanized animal was diagnosed with acute keratoconjunctivitis. The DNA sequence analysis of eye-swab samples from this animal revealed a high abundance of Mycoplasma conjunctivae.
