Experimental inoculation of goats with the contagious bovine pleuropneumonia
The objective of the trial was to determine the susceptibility of goats to the contagious bovine pleuropneumonia (CBPP) agent. Four inoculation routes – subcutaneous, endobronchial, intrapleural and intraperitoneal – were tested. One of the goats infected intraperitoneally died of peritonitis. The C...

| Summary: | The objective of the trial was to determine the susceptibility of goats to the contagious bovine pleuropneumonia (CBPP) agent. Four inoculation routes – subcutaneous, endobronchial, intrapleural and intraperitoneal – were tested. One of the goats infected intraperitoneally died of peritonitis. The CBPP agent was isolated again from the ascitic fluid. The serological tests, competition ELISA in particular, revealed the occurrence of serological conversions in a number of animals. This should pave the way to further field studies to determine if goats in contact with CBPP-affected bovines may be naturally contaminated. |
