“…F38 does not appear to cause pathology in animals other than goats; 52 however, it has been isolated from the milk of mastitic cows in India, 66 and a culturally, serologically, and biochemically similar organism has been isolated from sheep in Kenya. 70 Thus far, Mycoplasma sp. F38 (or an F38-like mycoplasma) has been isolated in Chad, 69 India, 66 Kenya, 70 Oman, 61 South Yemen, 98 Sudan 51 Tunisia, 89 and (by implication) Turkey.…”

“…Mccp has been reported to affect only goat species and does not infect sheep (McMartin et al 1980). However, in contrast to these findings, F38 has been isolated from healthy sheep that were in contact with CCPP-positive goats in Africa (Litamoi et al 1990;. The presence of a distinct Asian cluster strongly indicates that CCPP was not recently imported to continental Asia but has been endemic in the area for a long time ).…”

Contagious caprine pleuropneumonia (CCPP) is caused by Mycoplasma capricolum subsp. capripneumoniae (Mccp) which belongs to the Mycoplasma mycoides cluster, a group of five closely related Mycoplasmas, pathogenic to ruminants. The true lesions of CCPP are restricted to the alveolar tissues of infected goats, which distinguish it from other respiratory diseases of small ruminants caused by members of the Mycoplasma mycoides cluster. The typical signs of CCPP are an accumulation of pleural fluid, unilateral hepatisation, adhesions, pleurisy and pleuropneumonia which clearly differentiate it from "MAKePS" syndrome caused by Mycoplasma mycoides subsp. capri (Mmc). The available literature on CCPP shows that so far in Pakistan, the true causative agent (Mccp) of this disease has only been isolated in the Pashin District of Balochistan and that the disease is more frequently confused with other respiratory diseases of goat caused by the Mycoplasma mycoides cluster. The lack of suitable techniques and extensive knowledge in the field is a big limitation for the isolation and characterisation of Mccp from prevailing CCPP-like cases in the goat population of Pakistan.

“…However, there are some reports that describe the isolation of M. capricolum subsp. capripneumoniae from healthy sheep in Kenya that had been in contact with goat herds affected by CCPP (Litamoi et al, 1990), and from sick sheep in Uganda that had been mixed with goats suffering from the disease (Bolske et al, 1995). The isolation of M. capricolum subsp.…”

A set of four specific primers was designed by targeting the H2 gene sequences of Mycoplasma capricolum subsp. capripneumoniae (MCCP). Using Bst DNA polymerase, the products were amplified for 60 min at 65°C in a simple water bath. Compared with a polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test that targets the H2 gene sequences of MCCP, the sensitivity of the loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) assay was higher (approximately 0.75 fg DNA per reaction). The LAMP products could be visualized by agar gel electrophoresis. There were no cross reactions with other strains in the Mycoplasma mycoides cluster, which indicates the high specificity of the LAMP procedure. The LAMP assay was able to detect MCCP in tissue.
