AB  - Contagious Bovine Pleuropneumonia (CBPP)
is highly contagious and infectious respiratory disease of
cattle caused by Mycoplasma mycoides mycoides Small
Colony type (MmmSC) which is widely spread in
Ethiopia regardless of any variation in agro-ecological
parameters and found to be threat to cattle health and
production. CBPP is an oldest and the noticed disease in
Ethiopia. Although, combined blanket vaccination was
given with Rinderpest vaccine in the former times it was
not eradicated in Ethiopia. Rather the disease is
distributed all over the country in various magnitudes of
prevalences and made the controlling process very
complex. Little is known about the Epizootiology of
CBPP in Ethiopia and was thought to be the problem of
low land pastoral area in which the adjacent high land do
have probability to be exposed, unlike the research result
of many literatures which has revealed its outbreak in
high lands of Addis Ababa and North showa. In Ethiopia
the average physical losses from Contagious Bovine
Pleuropneumonia (CBPP) in terms of cattle deaths,
traction power, cost of treatment and control is so,
magnificent and incalculable both in endemic and
epidemic areas that many changes are expected from this
sector to save the immense potential loss arising from this
problem. As a disease of intensification, animal
husbandry and associated cattle movement were
incriminated to be the risk factors. In general, small
holder farmers of Ethiopia that covers the largest portion
of agrarian community was underestimated and not
understood because of which no noticeable economic
change was seen despite the huge potential of livestock
population in the country.
