Contagious caprine pleuropneumonia (CCPP), caused by Mycoplasma capricolum subsp. capripneumoniae is a severe disease widespread in Africa and Asia. Limited knowledge is available on the pathogenesis of this organism, mainly due to the lack of a robust in vivo challenge model and the means to do ...

Contagious bovine pleuropneumonia (CBPP) is a lung disease caused by the bacterial pathogen Mycoplasma mycoides ssp. mycoides small colony type (MmmSC). It has been spreading due to a number of factors including poor vaccine efficacy and poor sensitivity of current diagnostic tests. The purpose o...

Mycoplasma capricolum subsp. capricolum is a well-known pathogen of small ruminants. A recent human case of septicemia involving this agent raised the question of its potential pathogenicity to humans. We present the first draft genome sequence of a human Mycoplasma capricolum subsp. capricolum i...

The known and the unknowns: A multipathogen survey to identify diseases in cattle herds in Tanzania
Cattle diseases remain a major constraint to increasing dairy productivity in Tanzania,
by killing or keeping them sick and under-producing. Recent studies report overall
mortality between 12 and 14 % in smallholder dairy cattle across different regions of
Tanzania. Many of these diseases can als...
