Abstract

Mycoplasma Mycoides subsp. Mycoides “Small Colony” (MmmSC) causes the infectious and contagious respiratory disease known as Contagious Bovine Pleuropneumonia (CBPP), which has a significant negative effect on livestock output and the propensity to spread quickly. The aim of this paper is to review the epidemiology and economic impacts of CBPP in Ethiopia. Contagious Bovine pleuropneumonia is an endemic disease in Africa, Asia, Eastern Europe, and the Iberian Peninsula. Contagious Bovine pleuropneumonia is mainly transmitted from animal to animal in respiratory aerosols. The clinical manifestations of CBPP in cattle range from hyper acute, acute, sub acute and chronic forms. Diagnosis CBPP based on a history of contact with infected animals, clinical findings, Immuno-diagnosis tests, necropsy findings and cultural examination. Thrombosis in the pulmonary arteries is a hallmark of the CBPP pathogenesis in susceptible animals. The impact that Contagious Bovine Pleuropneumonia (CBPP) can impart in an economy of a given country is so vast and tremendous that it is not advisable to overlook like any of the ordinary routine diseases of livestock that can be easily removed by treatment or self-cure. Movement control, vaccination, and treatment are essential tools in CBPP control and eradication. Regular program of mass vaccination and best treatment regime. Moreover, effective vaccination policy needs to be considered as it is the only realistic method of choice for control of CBPP in Ethiopia.
