Characterisation of the lymph node immune response following Mycoplasma mycoides subsp. Mycoides SC infection in cattle.
Contagious bovine pleuropneumonia (CBPP), caused by Mycoplasma mycoides subsp. mycoides biotype Small Colony (MmmSC), is still a major cattle disease in Africa. Development of long-term protective vaccines, the only relevant strategy to achieve CBPP eradication, requires the characterisation of the protective immune mechanism. To this aim, the present study investigated the cellular immune resp...
متن کاملExperimental Studies on the Efficacy of T1sr and T1/44 Vaccine Strains of Mycoplasma mycoides Subspecies mycoides (Small Colony) against a Field Isolate Causing Contagious Bovine Pleuropneumonia in Kenya - Effect of a Revaccination
Contagious bovine pleuropneumonia (CBPP) is an important disease of cattle in Africa caused by Mycoplasma mycoides subsp. mycoides biotype small colony (MmmSC) and characterized by extensive lesions of pleurisy and pneumonia (13). Among infectious diseases that threaten African cattle, its importance is only second to rinderpest (RP) and, as more and more countries declare being free of RP, CBP...
متن کاملContagious Bovine Pleuropneumonia in Ethiopia (Review Article)
Contagious bovine pleuropneumonia is a disease of cattle caused by Mycoplasma mycoidessubsp. mycoidessmall colonies. The disease is characterized by a relatively long incubation period and a highly variable clinical course. Recovered animals may harbour the infection in lung sequestra: necrotic areas of lung tissue separated from the surrounding normal tissue by a fibrous capsule. Contagious bo...
متن کاملAssessing the in vitro effectiveness of antimicrobials against Mycoplasma mycoides subsp. mycoides small-colony type to reduce contagious bovine pleuropneumonia infection.
In vitro minimum inhibitory concentrations were determined for 21 antimicrobials against 41 isolates of Mycoplasma mycoides subsp. mycoides small-colony type, the cause of contagious bovine pleuropneumonia. Of the antimicrobials used most widely in Africa, oxytetracycline and tilmicosin were effective, while the isolates were resistant to tylosin. These results provide a baseline for monitoring...
متن کاملModels of Contagious Bovine Pleuropneumonia: Evaluation of Two Novel Strains
The clinical course of infection following endobronchial inoculation of three strains of Mycoplasma mycoides subspecies mycoides small colony (MmmSC), the causative agent of Contagious Bovine Pleuropneumonia (CBPP), was compared in 15 mixed-breed Bos taurus steers. Two of these strains have not previously been investigated under experimental conditions. The cattle were inoculated endobronchiall...
