Abstract
A new mycoplasma was isolated from cases of chronic caprine pleuropneumonia in Kenya. It belonged to the speciesMycoplasma mycoides being a member of Al-Aubaidi's Group 8. When inoculated into goats and sheep the organism caused pleuropneumonia and local subcutaneous lesions. The pleuropneumonia was not contagious. In contrast the organism was non-pathogenic in cattle. Un nouveau mycoplasme a été isolé à partir de cas de pleuropneumonie caprine chronique au Kenya. Il appartient à l'espèceM. mycoides, membre du Groupe 8 d'Al Aubaidi. Inoculé à des chèvres et des moutons, ce germe cause une pleuropneumonie et des lésions sous cutanées locales. La pleuropneumonie n'est pas contagieuse. Par contre, le germe n'est pas pathogène pour les bovins. Se aisló un nuevo micoplasma de casos clínicos de pleuroneumonía caprina crónica en Kenia. El agente pertenece a la especieMycoplasma mycoides, siendo un miembro del grupo 8 Al-Aubaidi. El organismo produjo pleuroneumonía lesiones subcutáneas cuando se inoculó en cabras y ovejas. La enfermedad producida no fue contagiosa y el organismo no fue patógeno para los bovinos.Keywords
