(CBPP)

Contagious bovine pleuropneumonia (Image sourced from Bristol Biomed Image Archive with permission)

Caused by Mycoplasma mycoides, small colony variant
Causes a fibrinonecrotic pneumonia and fibrinous pleuritis
Also affects caudodorsal areas
Bronchopneumonia -> lobar pneumonia
Sequestra are common
NB: similarity to pneumonic pasteurellosis but CBPP has more pronounced marbled effect
Interstitial septa are markedly widened by fibrinous exudate and the necrotic areas may have a fibrous capsule
Large colony variant will cause a similar disease in goats
