Moraxella bovis is a Gram-negative, aerobic, oxidase-positive rod-shaped bacterium. It is the cause of infectious bovine keratoconjunctivitis, a contagious ocular disease of cattle,[1][2] referred to colloquially as pinkeye or New Forest eye.[3] M. bovis was first associated with pinkeye in cattle 1915 in Bengal, India[4]

The restriction enzyme MboI, widely used in biotechnology, is isolated from this species.[5]
