Resumo
Contagious agalactia (CA) is an infectious syndrome caused by several species of Mycoplasma spp. which affects small ruminants. The aim of this review is to describe the main differences noted between the disease in sheep and goats, especially with regard to its etiologic and epidemiological peculiarities. Thus, the presence of asymptomatic auricular carriers of CA-causing mycoplasmas and the stud�s role in the transmission of the disease are well known in goats, but scarcely evaluated in sheep. Further studies are needed to determine if these differences are real or if they are due to the shortage of scientific work in this matter
