Contagious Bovine Pleuropneumonia: Global Eradication Remains a Challenging and Distant Goal.

Contagious bovine pleuropneumonia (CBPP) is one of the six high impact diseases for which currently World Organization for Animal Health (WOAH) has established an official procedure for recognition of disease-free status for trade purposes. Although its exact distribution, incidence, and impact have not been well established, the disease is known to be endemic in sub-Saharan Africa, where it has a severe socio-economic impact on people's livelihoods. Control or elimination of the disease can be achieved by various strategies including vaccination, movement control, and stamping-out. Due to many factors, countries in sub-Saharan Africa are still struggling with this disease, compromising continental and global eradication. In this review, basic epidemiologic features and clinical signs of CBPP are presented and disease control challenges, particularly in endemic countries, are briefly discussed.
