As a newbie to breeding I find this thread on mycoplasma very interesting as well: I live in Ontario Canada, my Vet tested my male for mycoplasma by drawing blood, the blood was sent to Lincoln Nebraska for testing. It was a good 3 weeks before I received results, my boy was neg. is this an accurate test??? I see no one saying they tested for mycoplasma through blood.
