Abstract

The prevalence of spontaneous pneumonia in Garole sheep was reported based on isolation of Mycoplasma and pathological changes. Mycoplasmal isolate was provisionally identified as Mycoplasma ovipneumoniae by cultural characters and biochemical changes. Pathological changes featured interstitial pneumonia with peribronchial and perivascular lymphoid cell hyperplasia and thickening of interlobular septa.
