Any goat suspected of having Contagious Caprine Pleuropneumonia should be reported to the State Veterinarians or USDA Area Veterinarian in Charge immediately.
Morbidity is considered to be 100% with mortality being between 60-100%. If caught early, CCPP may be treated with antibiotics. The United States and Canada are considered free of CCPP. Direct goat-to-goat contact is necessary for the disease to spread.ĬCPP is endemic to Africa, Asia, the Middle East, and eastern Europe. Mortality rates can reach 100 percent.ĬCPP is spread through the inhalation of airborne droplets from coughing/sneezing animals. Damaged lung tissue can harden and adhere to the chest wall, which interferes with effective respiration and causes the goat to die from lack of oxygen. CCPP causes inflammation of the lungs and accumulation of fluid in the chest cavity.
Contagious Caprine Pleuropneumonia (CCPP) is a highly contagious infectious disease of goats caused by the Mycoplasma mycoides capri and Mycoplasma F38 bacteria.
