I n a survey of pneumonia due to Mycoplasma ۲۸۲ out of ۱۲۱۶۸ ovine and caprine lung condemnation were collected (۲.۳۲%). Mycoplasma spp. has been isolated from pneumonic cases in ۴ sheep and ۲ goats. PCR studies were confirmed the genus of Mycoplasma although attempting for identification of strains M. mycoides, M. capricolum/caprine pleuropneumonia and M. arginin were in failure. The lesions initially showed raised consolidation at the right cranio-ventral lobes .Histopathological observations revealed purulent interstitial pneumonia & bronchitis (۳۳.۳۳%) purulent bronchopneumonia (۳۳.۳۳%) purulent fibrinous pneumonia (۱۶.۶%) and progressive pneumonia (۱۶.۶%). This approach has the potential to allow the recognition of genus of Mycoplasma as a primary factor for inducing pneumonia.
