[Experimental reproduction and the course of contagious bovine pleuropneumonia in a group of cattle and goats: anatomoclinical aspects].
Five cows were inoculated with 3.10(9) CFU Mycoplasma mycoides subsp. mycoides. Five other cows and five goats were placed in close contact with inoculated cows. Clinical observations, serological survey and microbial excretion by culture for mycoplasma from tracheobronchial washes liquid were carried out during 4 months. Mycoplasmas excretion is detected before antibodies responses on all 10 infected cows. The cows never presented clinical respiratory signs and showed no or light lesions but one animal having typical lesions of acute form of contagious bovine pleuropneumonia. Goats do not seem to be susceptible and play no part in the spreading of the infection.
