Within Europe, the goat industry appears to have minor importance when compared to sheep or cattle productions, and the interest of research and studies in caprine pathology is limited. Here, this article is aimed at presenting the main research models in France, the current available data on the pathogenic mechanisms and the physiopathological processes and the related development of measures of management control using examples of pathologies caused by different agents (prions, viruses, bacteria, protozoan or helminthic parasites) that affect goats and their production. It is also aimed at underlining the interest of specific caprine studies not only as models of comparative pathology in small ruminants but also as tools that take into account the specific constraints of the dairy industry.

Les références caprines ne constituent que 25 à 30% des travaux cités pour les petits ruminants dans leur ensemble. De nombreux exemples soulignent pourtant les dangers potentiels de négliger les spécificités physiologiques, métaboliques ou comportementales des caprins dans la maîtrise des processus pathologiques. Ce constat justifie que les caprins fassent l’objet de recherches particulières dont les résultats en pathologie comparée conduisent à formuler des hypothèses de portée générale
