serological and microbial survey of mycoplasma gallisepticum in wild turkeys (meleagris gallopavo) from six western states.	from 1986 to 1989, sera from wild turkeys (meleagris gallopavo), including three subspecies (m. gallopavo intermedia, m. gallopavo merriami and m. gallopavo mexicana) trapped in six western states were tested for antibody to mycoplasma gallisepticum (mg) (n = 724), m. synoviae (ms) (n = 461) and m. meleagridis (mm) (n = 354) using the rapid plate agglutination (rpa) assay. subsamples of these sera were also evaluated using the hemagglutination inhibition (hi) assay for antibody to mg (n = 664) a ...	1992	1548787
predominant sexually transmitted diseases among different age and ethnic groups of indigent sexually active adolescents attending a family planning clinic.	the present study analyzed a group of 113 sexually active, indigent female adolescents attending a family planning clinic, for age, ethnic, or racial trends in the recovery of neisseria gonorrhoeae, chlamydia trachomatis, mycoplasma species, and ureaplasma urealyticum. the overall recovery rate for n. gonorrhoeae was 8/112 (7.1%), with the highest rate occurring in black patients (7/82, 8.5%). the overall recovery rate for c. trachomatis was 31/113 (27.4%), with the highest rate occurring in his ...	1988	3417503

mycoplasma gallisepticum infection in wild-type turkeys living in close contact with domestic fowl.	mycoplasma gallisepticum was isolated from 2 wild-type turkeys (meleagris gallopavo) and 1 domestic turkey living in close contact on a farm in tehama county, california. sinusitis was detected in 2 of 14 wild-type turkeys and in 1 of 12 feral broad-breasted bronze turkeys, but in none of several chickens on the premises. the entire mixed flock was captured, sinus aspirates were collected from affected birds, and blood samples were obtained from all birds for serologic testing. blood samples als ...	1983	6643238

a serologic survey of mycoplasma putrefaciens infection in goats.	the prevalence of mycoplasma putrefaciens infection in goat populations in mendocino and sonoma counties of northern california was studied, using the plate and tube agglutination tests. on a county basis, mendocino had a higher antibody prevalence (13%) than sonoma (10%). the overall antibody prevalence among the 377 goat serum samples tested was 11%. there was no statistical evidence to show any significant difference in prevalence on the basis of herd size. of the common goat breeds in califo ...	1981	7325445
outbreaks of mycoplasma pneumoniae respiratory infection--ohio, texas, and new york, 1993.	from june through november 1993, three outbreaks of acute respiratory illness (ari) occurred in institutional settings in ohio, texas, and new york. this report summarizes investigations by state and local public health officials, military personnel, and cdc, which indicate that mycoplasma pneumoniae was the cause of these outbreaks.	1993	8246855

infectious disease survey of rio grande wild turkeys in the edwards plateau of texas.	state wildlife agencies have translocated thousands of wild turkeys (meleagris gallopavo) since the 1930s to reestablish this species. because of threats to the domestic poultry industry and wild birds, screening for selected infectious agents has become routine since the early 1980s. one of the principal sources for rio grande wild turkeys (m. gallopavo intermedia) for translocation purposes was the edwards plateau of texas (usa). unfortunately, turkey abundance has declined in the southern edw ...	2002	12528453
infectious disease survey of lesser prairie chickens in north texas.	lesser prairie chicken (tympanuchus pallidicinctus) abundance, like that of most grassland birds, has declined rangewide for decades. although habitat loss and degradation are likely ultimate causes for this decline, infectious agents, particularly microparasites, could be proximate contributors. no surveys of pathogenic bacteria or viruses have been published for this species. we surveyed 24 free-living lesser prairie chickens from hemphill county, texas (usa), for evidence of exposure to salmo ...	2002	12528454
prevalence of bartonella species, haemoplasma species, ehrlichia species, anaplasma phagocytophilum, and neorickettsia risticii dna in the blood of cats and their fleas in the united states.	ctenocephalides felis were killed and collected from 92 cats in alabama, maryland, and texas. the fleas and blood from the corresponding cat were digested and assessed in polymerase chain reaction assays that amplify dna of ehrlichia species, anaplasma phagocytophilum, neorickettsia risticii, mycoplasma haemofelis, 'candidatus m haemominutum' and bartonella species. dna consistent with b henselae, b clarridgeiae, m haemofelis, or 'candidatus m haemominutum' was commonly amplified from cats (60.9 ...	2006	16290092
analysis identifying common and distinct sequences among texas clinical strains of mycoplasma genitalium.	mycoplasma genitalium is a human bacterial pathogen linked to urethritis and other sexually transmitted diseases. here, we assessed the incidence of m. genitalium infection in patients attending a sexually transmitted disease clinic in san antonio, tx, by use of diagnostic real-time pcr. overall, 16.8% of women and 15.1% of men were found m. genitalium positive. regions of the mgpb gene, which encodes the mgpa adhesin, were amplified from positive clinical specimens and evaluated for sequence va ...	2009	19261784
mycoplasma genitalium symptoms, concordance and treatment in high-risk sexual dyads.	the objective of this study was to determine the prevalence and concordance of mycoplasma genitalium (mg) among mexican american and african american women and their male sexual partners. secondary objectives were to determine symptoms of mg infection and persistence of mg after antibiotic therapy. heterosexual couples were tested for mg and interviewed separately regarding symptoms and behavioural/epidemiologic variables at baseline, six and 12 months. the overall prevalence of mg among women a ...	2010	20215621
human coinfection with bartonella henselae and two hemotropic mycoplasma variants resembling mycoplasma ovis.	two variants of an organism resembling the ovine hemoplasma, mycoplasma ovis, were detected by pcr in blood samples from a veterinarian in texas. coinfection with similar variants has been described in sheep. this represents the first report of human infection with this organism. the veterinarian was coinfected with bartonella henselae.	2010	20702675
