Abstract

A Study on Contagious Bovine Pleuropneumonia in Khartoum State, Sudan

Highlights

Contagious bovine pleuropneumonia (CBPP), which is caused by Mycoplasma mycoides subsp. mycoides (Mmm), is a highly contagious respiratory disease primarily of cattle [1].The Pan African programme for the Control of Epizootics (PACE) has identified CBPP as the second most important transboundary disease in Africa after rinderpest
Isolation of Mycoplasma mycoides subsp. mycoides: No mycoplasma was isolated from slaughter-house samples
These results confirmed the previous study of Ameera M. [9] and other veterinary reports which as certain that no cases of CBPP were detected in slaughterhouses in Khartoum state

Summary

Introduction

Contagious bovine pleuropneumonia (CBPP), which is caused by Mycoplasma mycoides subsp. mycoides (Mmm), is a highly contagious respiratory disease primarily of cattle [1].The Pan African programme for the Control of Epizootics (PACE) has identified CBPP as the second most important transboundary disease in Africa after rinderpest. A total of 1786 animals were investigated and 116 pneumonic lung tissue samples were collected from animals showing lung lesions (table 1). Lymph nodes and sera were collected from six animals showing typical clinical signs and PM lesions of CBPP at Hilat Kuku in Khartoum North.
