| an outbreak of mycoplasma synoviae infection in north carolina turkeys: comparison of isolates by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and restriction endonuclease analysis. | mycoplasma synoviae (ms) isolates made in 1988-89 from turkey flocks in north carolina, missouri, and ontario, canada, were compared with each other and ms reference strains (wvu-1853, f10-2as, neb-3s, and k1968) by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (sds-page) of cell proteins and restriction endonuclease analysis (rea) of dna. sds-page and rea indicated considerable homology among ms reference strains and recent field isolates. however, sufficient differences were resolv ... | 1992 | 1329712 |
| isolation of mycoplasma gallopavonis from free-ranging wild turkeys in coastal north carolina seropositive and culture-negative for mycoplasma gallisepticum. | serum samples and choanal cleft swabs were collected from livetrapped and hunter killed wild turkeys (meleagris gallopavo) from martin and bertie counties, north carolina (usa). sera were tested for antibodies to mycoplasma gallisepticum, mycoplasma synoviae and mycoplasma meleagridis by hemagglutination inhibition (hi). sera from 33% (five of 15) of livetrapped turkeys were positive for antibodies to m. gallisepticum by hi, and all were negative for antibodies to m. synoviae and m. meleagridis. ... | 1992 | 1548788 |
