Epidemiological reports and post-mortem examination of slaughtered cattle indicate that prevalence of contagious bovine pleuropneumonia (CBPP) in Nigeria is on the increase, despite annual mass vaccinations and other protection measures. The number of reported outbreaks increased from 20 in 1981 to 64 in 1988, 114 in 1989, 82 in 1990 and 52 in 1991 (January to June). Post-mortem examinations conducted between January 1988 and June 1991 at the abattoir in Maiduguri, capital of Borno State (Nigeria) revealed that of 122,567 slaughtered cattle, 6,008 (4.9%) had pneumonia and 777 (0.6%) had gross lesions suggestive of CBPP. Only 22 sporadic outbreaks were reported over this period within the catchment area of Borno State. Probable reasons for the deteriorating situation of CBPP in Nigeria are discussed.
流行病学报告以及对屠宰牛的尸检表明，尽管每年都进行大规模疫苗接种及采取其他防护措施，但尼日利亚传染性牛胸膜肺炎（CBPP）的流行率仍在上升。报告的疫情数量从1981年的20起增至1988年的64起、1989年的114起、1990年的82起以及1991年（1月至6月）的52起。1988年1月至1991年6月期间，在尼日利亚博尔诺州首府迈杜古里的屠宰场进行的尸检显示，在122,567头屠宰牛中，6,008头（4.9%）患有肺炎，777头（0.6%）有提示为CBPP的明显病变。在此期间，博尔诺州集水区内仅报告了22起散发病例。文中讨论了尼日利亚CBPP情况恶化的可能原因。
