Contagious caprine pleuropneumonia (CCPP) is a cause of major economic losses to goat production in at least 30 countries in Africa and Asia containing a total goat population of more than 300 million. Classical, acute CCPP is caused by Mycoplasma capricolum subspecies capripneumoniae (Mccp) (MacOwan and Minette 1976) originally known as Mycoplasma F38. This mycoplasma was first isolated from the lungs of goats with pleuropneumonia in Kenya and demonstrated to cause CCPP. The disease is characterised by fibrinous pleuropneumonia with increased straw-coloured pleural fluid. Morbidity and mortality rates may reach 100% and 80%, respectively.
In the lab, to detect CCPP in gaot, cow, take one drop serum sample
of goat in the plate like in picture and one drop of ccpp antigen, then mix
the postive result, you see like small white sand like in this picture.
