[Present Situation of Contagious Bovine Pleuropneumonia in Central African Republic].

ABSTRACT:

Aims

The aim of this study was to analyse the current situation of Contagious Bovine Pleuropneumonia (CBPP) in the Central African Republic (CAR) by seroprevalence analysis, as well as isolation and characterization of strains of the etiologic agent, Mycoplasma mycoides mycoides (Mmm), circulating in livestock breeding regions.

Material and methods

The strains obtained were subjected to whole genome sequencing by Illumina technology and genotyped using the eMLST technique based on 62 genes of the Mmm core genome. Their sensitivity to tetracycline was assessed by determination of the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) on agar. A seroprevalence analysis by competitive ELISA was conducted in livestock breeding regions (West, Centre and East CAR), including both zebu
