Summary:In five experiments 29 goats were infected experimentally by five different routes with a strain of Mycoplasma mycoides subspecies mycoides, LC type, isolated from a contagious caprine pleuropneumonia-like outbreak on a farm in northern Sweden. All the goats were colonised except those inoculated subcutaneously with small doses. In its pattern of pathogenicity this strain was similar to other experimentally tested strains except that peroral infection in kids produced no clinical signs. A 'contact' goat was also colonised but the clinical signs seen in it were probably due to a concomitant infection with Pasteurella haemolytica.
