Mesomycoplasma ovipneumoniae strain:TC1 Genome sequencing and assembly. Mesomycoplasma ovipneumoniae strain:TC1

Mycoplasma ovipneumoniae is believed to be the cause of nonprogressive pneumonia of sheep, goats and wild small ruminants. Although M. ovipneumoniae is an important concern in the sheep and goat industry, little is known about its virulence factors and other functional proteins such as adhesins and prominent immunogens. Sequencing of complete genome of M. ovipneumoniae will be helpful to understand the molecular mechanism of pathogenesis and to development of vaccine and diagnostic tools.

绵羊肺炎支原体（Mycoplasma ovipneumoniae）被认为是引发绵羊、山羊及野生小型反刍动物非进行性肺炎的病原菌。尽管该菌在肉羊与山羊养殖产业中是广受重视的重要病原之一，但目前对其毒力因子、黏附素及优势免疫原等功能蛋白的认知仍较为有限。对绵羊肺炎支原体进行全基因组测序，将有助于阐明其致病的分子机制，同时可为疫苗研发与诊断工具的开发提供助力。
