Abstract
The main goal of this research was to study the distribution of CCPP
in the Sudan. A total number of 316 lung samples and 513 serum samples
were collected from Southern Darfuor, Khartoum, Kassala and Red Sea
States. Lung tissues were cultured on two different media (Brucella and
Hayflick´s) for isolation of mycoplasma.
Seven isolates ofMycoplasma were recovered; 5 isolates from
Southern Darfuor, one isolate from Khartoum state and one isolate from
Kassala state. Isolates were identified as mycoplasma capricolum subsp
capripneumoniae(Mccp) using conventional serological and molecular
techniques.
Serum samples wereinvestigated for Abs against Mccp using CFT.
33.5% of samples collected from Southern Darfuor state, 30% of samples
from Khartoum state, 38.5% of samples from Kassala state and 36% of
samples from Red Sea state were found tobe positive. Higher antibody titers
were detected in sera collectedfrom Southern Darfuor state.
It was concluded from the study that CCPP is present in the
investigated states and further work should be done to investigate other
country States
