Contagious caprine pleuropneumonia (CCPP) caused by Mycoplasma capricolum subsp. capripneumoniae is a severe epidemic affecting mainly domestic Caprinae species but also affects wild Caprinae species. M. capricolum subsp. capripneumoniae belongs to the "Mycoplasma mycoides cluster." The disease features prominently in East Africa, in particular Kenya, Tanzania, and Ethiopia. CCPP also endangers wildlife and thus affects not only basic nutritional resources of large populations but also expensively built-up game resorts in affected countries. Here, we report the complete sequences of two M. capricolum subsp. capripneumoniae strains: the type strain F38 and strain ILRI181 isolated druing a recent outbreak in Kenya. Both genomes have a G+C content of 24% with sizes of 1,016,760 bp and 1,017,183 bp for strains F38 and ILRI181, respectively.
由山羊支原体山羊肺炎亚种引起的山羊传染性胸膜肺炎(CCPP)是一种严重的流行病,主要影响家养山羊品种,但也会影响野生山羊品种。山羊支原体山羊肺炎亚种属于“丝状支原体簇”。该病在东非尤为突出,特别是在肯尼亚、坦桑尼亚和埃塞俄比亚。CCPP还危及野生动物,因此不仅影响大量人口的基本营养资源,还影响受影响国家造价高昂的野生动物保护区。在此,我们报告了两株山羊支原体山羊肺炎亚种的完整序列:模式菌株F38和在肯尼亚最近一次疫情中分离出的ILRI181菌株。菌株F38和ILRI181的基因组G+C含量均为24%,大小分别为1,016,760 bp和1,017,183 bp。
