Role of mycoplasma strain F38 in contagious caprine pleuropneumonia.
The role of the F38 group of mycoplasma in contagious caprine pleuropneumonia is assessed with reference to certain criteria whereby a causative relationship between a particular agent and the disease in question is established. The evidence that Mycoplasma mycoides subsp. mycoides (large colony) or M. mycoides subsp. capri may be involved in the disease is similarly considered.
