Mycoplasma are prokaryotic host specific microorganisms causing many disease conditions in animals and man. In goat and sheep 20 different species of mycoplasmas occur, most of them are pathogenic and few are saprophytes. Mycoplasma causes various clinical conditions in ovine and caprine, of which pneumonia is major problem. But clinical signs on mycoplasma infection are not always similar, it differs in different geoclimatic conditions. Moreoever, the clinical conditions of mycoplasmal pneumonia differ from classical contagious caprine pleuropneumonia (CCPP), caused by Mycoplasma capricolum subsp. capricloum. The present study attempts to assess the incidence, clinical signs and necropsy findings of mycoplasmal pneumonia in goats.
