The role of Mycoplasma strain F38 in contagious caprine pleuropneumonia (CCCP) in Kenya. 1977

K J MacOwan, and J E Minette

The results of a serological and cultural study of experimental and field cases of contagious caprine pleuropneumonia were consistent with an aetiological role for mycoplasma strain F38. This mycoplasma was isolated from 57 acute cases in 46 outbreaks of CCPP and from 87 experimental contact cases. Clinical data from experimental contact cases were assessed for comparison with field cases.
