An epizootic in white Saanen goats, caused by Mycoplasma mycoides subsp. mycoides is described. Twenty-five flocks totalling approximately 4,500 animals were involved. The disease was characterized by a high, transient temperature, general malaise and mastitis in the lactating does, and a keratoconjunctivitis, arthritis, mycoplasmaemia and death among the kids. In one goat flock there was a precipitous change in the character of the disease, from a predominantly mastitis syndrome to a fulminating pleuropneumonia. In another goat flock, twin kids were born with an advanced purulent, proliferative arthritis, suggesting early congenital infection. In yet another infected flock there were cases of subcutaneous abscesses from which both M. mycoides and Corynebacterium pyogenes were cultured. M. mycoides was also isolated from synovial fluid and the parenchymal organs of an Ibex mountain goat that died of a purulent polyarthritis. Experimental infection in kids caused a diffuse cellulitis at the site of inoculation, a high fever, polyarthritis and death.
本文描述了由丝状支原体丝状亚种引起的白色萨能山羊的一次 epizootic 疫情。涉及25个羊群，共计约4500只羊。该病的特征为体温急剧升高且短暂，母羊普遍不适和患乳腺炎，羔羊出现角膜结膜炎、关节炎、支原体血症并死亡。在一个山羊群中，疾病特征发生了急剧变化，从主要的乳腺炎综合征转变为暴发性胸膜肺炎。在另一个山羊群中，双胞胎羔羊出生时患有晚期化脓性、增殖性关节炎，提示早期先天性感染。在另一个受感染的羊群中，出现了皮下脓肿病例，从中培养出了丝状支原体和化脓性棒状杆菌。丝状支原体还从一只死于化脓性多关节炎的羱羊的滑液和实质器官中分离出来。对羔羊进行实验性感染后，在接种部位引起弥漫性蜂窝织炎、高热、多关节炎和死亡。
