[Pathogenicity of Mycoplasma to calves].
An account is given of the importance and position of enzootic pneumonia in the general complex of mycoplasmic infections of cattle stock. Intra-mammary inoculation proved to be an adequate approach to testing the pathogenicity of isolated strains. The changes thus identified may be used together with an evaluation diagram to reduce virulence.
