Demonstration of Mycoplasma capricolum subsp. capripneumoniae and Mycoplasma mycoides subsp. mycoides, Small Colony type in Outbreaks of Caprine Pleuropneumonia in Eastern Tanzania [PDF]

Acta Veterinaria Scandinavica, 2000
An outbreak of caprine pleuropneumonia involving about 1200 goats in the Coast and Morogoro regions of eastern Tanzania is reported. The major clinical findings were severe respiratory distress, fever, mucopurulent nasal discharge and high mortality involving all age groups and both sexes of goats. The morbidity and mortality rates were 45%-90% and 14%-

Advances in Diagnosis of Respiratory Diseases of Small Ruminants

Veterinary Medicine International, Volume 2014, Issue 1, 2014., 2014
Irrespective of aetiology, infectious respiratory diseases of sheep and goats contribute to 5.6 percent of the total diseases of small ruminants. These infectious respiratory disorders are divided into two groups: the diseases of upper respiratory tract, namely, nasal myiasis and enzootic nasal tumors, and diseases of lower respiratory tract, namely ...

Reproduction of contagious caprine pleuropneumonia reveals the ability of convalescent sera to reduce hydrogen peroxide production in vitro

Veterinary Research, 2019
Contagious caprine pleuropneumonia (CCPP), caused by Mycoplasma capricolum subsp. capripneumoniae is a severe disease widespread in Africa and Asia. Limited knowledge is available on the pathogenesis of this organism, mainly due to the lack of a robust ...

Environmental Attributes to Respiratory Diseases of Small Ruminants

Veterinary Medicine International, Volume 2014, Issue 1, 2014., 2014
Respiratory diseases are the major disease crisis in small ruminants. A number of pathogenic microorganisms have been implicated in the development of respiratory disease but the importance of environmental factors in the initiation and progress of disease can never be overemphasized.

Isolation and Characterization of Mycoplasma mycoides Subspecies capri from Milk of Natural Goat Mastitis Cases

International Scholarly Research Notices, Volume 2013, Issue 1, 2013., 2013
Association of Mycoplasma mycoides subspecies capri (Mmc) with natural goat mastitis has been studied earlier largely by detecting the Mmc DNA using molecular methods. However, report on detection of cultivable Mmc isolates from natural goat‐mastitis milk is still very rare.

Identification, Characterization and Purification of MSC_0265, a Potential Immunogenic Antigen Homologue of Mycoplasma mycoides subsp. mycoides in Mycoplasma capricolum subsp. capripneumoniae [PDF]

International Journal of Biochemistry Research & Review, 2017
In silico identification and characterization of vaccine antigens has opened up new frontiers in the field of reverse vaccinology to mitigate the effects of livestock diseases by development of new subunit vaccines. This study aims to characterize, express and purify MSC_0265 for eventual use in immunoassays and inoculation in goats.

Sensitive and rapid detection of Mycoplasma capricolum subsp. capripneumoniae by Loop-mediated isothermal amplification

African Journal of Biotechnology, 2014
A set of four specific primers was designed by targeting the H2 gene sequences of Mycoplasma capricolum subsp. capripneumoniae (MCCP). Using Bst DNA polymerase, the products were amplified for 60 min at 65°C in a simple water bath. Compared with a polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test that targets the H2 gene sequences of MCCP, the sensitivity of the ...

Development and Evaluation of Epitope-Blocking ELISA for Detection of Antibodies against Contagious Caprine Pleuropneumonia in Goat Sera

Veterinary Sciences, 2019
Enzyme linked immunosorbent assays (ELISAs) have been developed for the detection of antibodies against contagious caprine pleuropneumonia (CCPP), the causative agent of which is Mycoplasma capricolum subsp. Capripneumoniae (Mccp).
