Review on Economic Impact of Contagious Bovine Pleuropneumonia (CBPP)
ثبت نشده
چکیده
Contagious bovine pleuropneumonia (CBPP) caused by Mycoplasma mycoides subsp. mycoides (Mmm) is an economically very important cattle disease in sub-Saharan Africa. The disease causes high morbidity and mortality losses to cattle. CBPP impacts animal health and poverty of livestock-dependent people through decreased animal productivity, reduced food supply and the cost of control measures. CBPP is a barrier to trade in many African countries and this reduces the value of livestock and the income of many value chain stakeholders. The presence of CBPP also poses a constant threat to CBPP-free countries and creates costs in terms of the measures necessary to ensure the exclusion of disease. Control of CBPP is therefore important as a way to salvage the losses and increase the incomes of cattle owners. This review assesses the economic impact of CBPP.

An estimation of the economic impact of contagious bovine pleuropneumonia in Africa.
Contagious bovine pleuropneumonia (CBPP) is a disease that causes high morbidity and mortality losses to cattle. The financial implications of these losses are of great significance to cattle owners. Control of CBPP is therefore important as a way to salvage the losses and increase the incomes of cattle owners. This study estimated the economic cost of CBPP and the benefits of its control in tw...
متن کاملOverview and epidemiology of contagious bovine pleuropneumonia in Africa.
Contagious bovine pleuropneumonia (CBPP) is widespread in Africa and in other regions of the world. This disease is particularly important in the semi-arid, sub-humid and arid zones of tropical Africa, but CBPP incidence seems to be increasing in some parts of East Africa. The epidemiology of CBPP is characterised by the occurrence of sub-acute and symptomless infections, and the persistence of...
متن کاملWhole-Genome Sequencing of Mycoplasma mycoides subsp. mycoides Italian Strain 57/13, the Causative Agent of Contagious Bovine Pleuropneumonia
Mycoplasma mycoides subsp. mycoides is generally considered one of most pathogenic Mycoplasma species, and it is the etiological agent of contagious bovine pleuropneumonia (CBPP). Here, we present the annotated genome sequence of M. mycoides subsp. mycoides Italian strain 57/13, isolated in 1992 during CBPP outbreaks in Italy.
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...
