Mycoplasma mycoides infections in ruminants: the current situation.
Recent reports of naturally occurring infections with the large colony variant of Mycoplasma mycoides subsp. mycoides are collated and considered together with the results of experimental pathogenicity studies. The information is assessed to indicate where further investigation would add to knowledge of M. mycoides subsp. mycoides as a ruminant pathogen.
