What Does CCPP Stand For?
CCPP stands for Contagious Caprine Pleuropneumonia
Contagious Caprine Pleuropneumonia (CCPP) is a highly infectious respiratory disease affecting goats, caused by the bacterium Mycoplasma capricolum subspecies capripneumoniae. CCPP is characterized by severe pleuropneumonia, resulting in respiratory distress, coughing, and potentially high mortality rates in affected herds. The disease poses significant economic challenges for the goat farming industry and is primarily transmitted through direct contact or respiratory droplets. Effective management and control measures, including vaccination and biosecurity practices, are essential to mitigate its spread.
