Mycoplasmas including CBPP/CCPP
The causative agent of contagious bovine pleuropneumonia (CBPP) is Mycoplasma mycoides subspecies mycoides SC (small colony); the first mycoplasma to be described. Phylogenetically it is a member of the Mycoplasma mycoides cluster which are pathogens of ruminants, and include M. mycoides subsp. capri, M.capricolum subsp. capripneumoniae, M. capricolum subsp. capricolum and Mycoplasma leachii. Note that M. mycoides subsp. mycoides large colony has now been reclassified as a serovar of M. mycoides subsp. capri and M. leachii is the new species designation for Mycoplasma bovine group 7.
CBPP and contagious Caprine Pleuropneumonia (CCPP) are important disease of ruminants in Africa and Asia. They have been eradicated in much of the developed world. Vaccines exist but they have many limitations, and there is a great need for better vaccines.
