Plasma levels of TNF-α, IFN-γ, IL-4 and IL-10 during a course of experimental contagious bovine pleuropneumonia

BMC Veterinary Research, 2012
Background Contagious Bovine Pleuropneumonia (CBPP), caused by Mycoplasma mycoides subsp. mycoides, is widespread in sub-Saharan Africa. The current live vaccine T1/44 has limited efficacy and occasionally leads to severe side effects in the animals.

Genes found essential in other mycoplasmas are dispensable in Mycoplasma bovis.

PLoS ONE, 2014
Mycoplasmas are regarded to be useful models for studying the minimum genetic complement required for independent survival of an organism. Mycoplasma bovis is a globally distributed pathogen causing pneumonia, mastitis, arthritis, otitis media and ...

Further studies on caprine and ovine mycoplasmas related toMycoplasma mycoidessubsp.mycoides [PDF]

Journal of Hygiene, 1980
SUMMARYNine caprine and ovine mycoplasma strains, said to be indistinguishable serologically fromMycoplasma mycoidessubsp.mycoides(the causative organism of contagious bovine plouropneumonia; CBPP) were examined in mice by (1) a mycoplasmaemia test, and (2) a cross-protection test.

Prevalence and Whole Genome Sequence Analysis of Mycoplasma bovis Isolates From Bulk Tank Milk of Dairy Farms in Tennessee, USA

Journal of Veterinary Internal Medicine, Volume 39, Issue 4, July/August 2025.
ABSTRACT Background Mycoplasma bovis mastitis is an important disease of dairy cows that causes substantial economic losses. However, its prevalence in different states in the United States (US), including Tennessee, is not well known. Furthermore, recent studies showed a high prevalence of bovine hemotropic mycoplasmas in US dairy farms.

Domain analysis of lipoprotein LppQ in Mycoplasma mycoides subsp. mycoides SC [PDF]

Antonie van Leeuwenhoek, 2007
The lipoprotein LppQ is the most prominent antigen of Mycoplasma mycoides subsp. mycoides small colony type (SC) during infection of cattle. This pathogen causes contagious bovine pleuropneumonia (CBPP), a devastating disease of considerable socio-economic importance in many countries worldwide.

Septic tendosynovitis in a breeding ram and isolation of Mycoplasma arginini

Veterinary Record Case Reports, Volume 13, Issue 1, March 2025.
Abstract A breeding ram was submitted to a veterinary hospital due to persistent pneumonia, emaciation and high fever. Upon submission, it also showed severe weight‐bearing lameness on all four legs with highly fluid‐filled digital flexor tendon sheaths. Additionally, a mild brisket sore was diagnosed.

The complete genome sequence of Mycoplasma bovis strain Hubei-1. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2011
Infection by Mycoplasma bovis (M. bovis) can induce diseases, such as pneumonia and otitis media in young calves and mastitis and arthritis in older animals. Here, we report the finished and annotated genome sequence of M.

Free exopolysaccharide from Mycoplasma mycoides subsp. mycoides possesses anti-inflammatory properties. [PDF]

Vet Res, 2015
In this study we explored the immunomodulatory properties of highly purified free galactan, the soluble exopolysaccharide secreted by Mycoplasma mycoides subsp. mycoides (Mmm). Galactan was shown to bind to TLR2 but not TLR4 using HEK293 reporter cells and to induce the production of the anti-inflammatory cytokine IL-10 in bovine macrophages, whereas ...

Modeling the Effects of Vaccination and Treatment With Third‐Generation Macrolides or Oxytetracyclines on Persistence and Impact of Contagious Bovine Pleuropneumonia

Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
This research assesses the impact of contagious bovine pleuropneumonia (CBPP) vaccination, treatment, and combined vaccination and treatment at the herd and population level in heterogeneous, stochastic, state‐transition models of CBPP transmission. Results from published trials with oxytetracycline or third‐generation macrolides (tulathromycin and ...
