Hay infected with Mycoplasma mycoides sub-species mycoides (M mycoides) was fed to six animals on three occasions. Five animals developed complement-fixing antibody in their sera and gave a positive reaction to the comparative intradermal allergic test. No animal died from contagious bovine pleuropneumonia (CBPP) but when they were killed, three had unequivocal lesions of the disease. M mycoides was isolated from the animals with these lesions but not from the others. CBPP was transmitted to two animals put in contact with those animals showing disease, and M mycoides was recovered from lesions in both animals. It is suggested that when unexplained outbreaks of CBPP occur, the possibility of indirect transmission should be considered.
将感染了丝状支原体丝状亚种（M. mycoides）的干草分三次喂给了六只动物。五只动物血清中产生了补体结合抗体，并且在比较性皮内变态反应试验中呈阳性反应。没有动物死于传染性牛胸膜肺炎（CBPP），但在将它们宰杀时，有三只出现了该疾病的确切病变。从有这些病变的动物身上分离出了丝状支原体，而其他动物身上未分离出。CBPP传播给了与那些患病动物接触的两只动物，并且从这两只动物的病变部位都分离出了丝状支原体。有人提出，当发生无法解释的CBPP疫情时，应考虑间接传播的可能性。
