Abstract
Mycoplasma capricolum subsp capripneumoniae (Mccp) produced no overt disease in Red Bororo calves inoculated intratracheally with 10ml of 1x109 CFU/ml of the organism. However when Red Bororo calves were immunosuppressed with Trypanosoma congolense (Tc) and subsequently challenged intratracheally with Mccp, typical lesions of CBPP were produced. The mean PCV value (mPCV), of each of the four Tc-infected RB calves (20.7±2.4%, 23.5±2.5%, 23.3±3.9% and 22.3±2.4%) was significantly (P M. capricolum subspecies capripneumoniae.
