Abstract
During the present investigation to study the incidence of Mycoplasma species in natural cases of kids pneumonia, nasal swabs were taken for cultural examination from the clinical cases of the kids of I.C.A.R. goat unit, Ranchi, Bihar. It was found that 20.7 percent of the casas examined were positive for Mycoplasma organisms out of which mycoides subsp. mycoides was associated with most of the cases (81.8 x) whereas M. arginini was associated with the rest (18.2 %) of the cases.
The pathogenicity of the isolated strain of Memycoides subsp. mycoides was tested in albino mice and kids of 3 to 6 months of age. It was found to be highly pathogenic for mice as it causad initially mycoplasmia and finally death in mice. All the kids died (cent percent mortality) between 8th and 16th day post inoculation after showing the symptoms of pneumonia.
