Abstract

Mycoplasma ovipneumoniae is associated with respiratory disease in wild and domestic Caprinae globally, with wide variation in disease outcomes within and between host species. To gain insight into phylogenetic structure and mechanisms of pathogenicity for this bacterial species, we compared M. ovipneumoniae genomes from six countries (Australia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Brazil, China, France, USA) and four host species (domestic sheep, domestic goats, bighorn sheep, caribou).
