*Caused by [[Mycoplasma mycoides subsp. mycoides|''Mycoplasma mycoides'']], small colony variant
  −
*Causes a fibrinonecrotic [[Lungs Inflammatory - Pathology#Infectious causes of pneumonia|pneumonia]] and [[Pleural Cavity & Membranes Inflammatory - Pathology|fibrinous pleuritis]]
  −
*Also affects caudodorsal areas

*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[[Category:Cattle]][[Category:To_Do_-_Clinical]]
