Abstract:
Contagious bovine pleuropneumonia (CBPP) is a severe infectious disease caused by Mycoplasma mycoides subsp. mycoides. The peculiar pathological features of CBPP make desirable the assessment of ad hoc score methods to grade the disease in the affected animals. Thus, the present work aims to assess a new lung score system for CBPP. Our results indicate that the present score system strongly correlates with that previously published by Turner and could be effectively used in CBPP-affected animals.
