Description

Although not a reportable or notifiable disease, Mycoplasma ovipneumoniae more commonly referred to as M.ovi, is a bacterium that can contribute to respiratory disease infections in domestic sheep/goats that generally do not cause significant losses in these flocks/herds. In wild bighorn sheep, however, M.ovi infection can be fatal, and can be the cause of whole-herd die-offs. This fact sheet discusses symptoms, mode of transmission, and who to contact if a producer suspects that they may have M. ovi in their domestic flock/herd. It increases awareness of the dangers this disease could pose to wild bighorn sheep populations located in close proximity to domestic sheep/goats, and provides contact information that can be used by sheep/goat producers to access available funding programs for testing/fencing, etc if they are located in/near bighorn ranges.
