Mycoplasmoses des petits ruminants : le syndrome de l'agalactie contagieuse
2008
Contagious Agalactia syndrome is due to four main (sub) species of Mycoplasma causing long-lasting
and often silent infections. Symptoms, when they occur, are variable according to Mycoplasma
and host species, age and physiological status. At the flock/herd level, the most frequent clinical picture
includes a mammary, respiratory, joint and ocular expression which is often incomplete.
Bacteriological (and sometimes serological) confirmation of epidemio-clinical suspicions is necessary
for definitive diagnosis. Antibiotherapy generally does not allow the cure of infection. Current vaccines
are not sufficiently efficients to prevent Contagious Agalactia infection and are not commercialised
in France. Validation and application of control plans are variable according to husbandry
type and mycoplasma species ; they are effective in the French ovine or caprine districts strictly applying
a sanitary policy against M. agalactiae.
