*Caused by ''[[Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae]]'' and ''[[Mycoplasma hyorhinis]]''
*Also called '''mycoplasmal pneumonia'''
*Major cause of unthriftiness in young pigs
*[[Lungs Inflammatory - Pathology#Infectious causes of pneumonia|Pneumonia]] in weaned pigs
*Cough, reduced growth rate
*Attached to cilia - no [[Respiratory System General Introduction - Pathology#Mucociliary escalator|mucociliary clearance]]
*Usually non-fatal unless there is secondary infection (e.g. [[Pasteurella multocida|''Pasteurella multocida'']])
*Gross pathology:
**Confluent consolidation of the cranioventral lung lobes
**In other areas there may be small red to grey focal lesions evident which indicate the bronchiolar orientation of the inflammatory process
*Histologically
**Changes result from a catarrhal [[Lungs Inflammatory - Pathology#Bronchointerstitial pneumonia|bronchointerstitial pneumonia]]
**In chronic cases, prominent accumulations of lymphoid cells can be seen around airways and blood vessels[[Category:Pig]]
