Abstract:
A new mycoplasma was isolated from cases of chronic caprine pleuropneumonia in Kenya. It belonged to the species Mycoplasma 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.
