Removal of chronic Mycoplasma ovipneumoniae carrier ewes eliminates pneumonia in a bighorn sheep population	2020-03-05		.txt	text/plain	5037	291	49	title: Removal of chronic Mycoplasma ovipneumoniae carrier ewes eliminates pneumonia in a bighorn sheep population We hypothesized that persistent or recurrent pneumonia in bighorn sheep (Ovis canadensis) populations may be caused by chronic carriers of Mycoplasma ovipneumoniae (Mo). 3. We classified chronic carriers as adults that consistently tested positive for Mo carriage over a 20‐month sampling period (n = 2 in the treatment population; n = 2 in control population). We modeled daily survival rates, incorporating treatment (i.e., population identity), year (Gaillard et al., 2000) , strain type exposure (Cassirer TA B L E 1 Summary of bighorn sheep pathogen testing results and survival estimates in the treatment and control populations, We coded treatment and individual sex effects as with adults. After removal of chronic carriers, we did not detect Mo in 35 samples (26 negative and 9 indeterminate) collected from 26 individuals (9 males, 17 females) in the treatment population (Table 1 and Table S3 ).	./cache/cord-351594-8gp9mjen.txt	./txt/cord-351594-8gp9mjen.txt
