| 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 |
| pulmonary mycoplasmosis in farmed white-tailed deer (odocoileus virginianus). | an outbreak of respiratory disease at a farmed cervid facility resulted in isolation and identification of mycoplasma boris in four affected white-tailed deer (odocoileus virginianus) fawns. microscopically, pulmonary lesions similar to those associated with m. bovis infections in calves, inclulding lymphoplasmacytic peribronchiolar cuffing and caseonecrotic bronchiectasis, were present. arcanobacterium pyogenes was recovered from lung tissue as well. this report indicates that m. bovis can be a ... | 2004 | 15362844 |
| mycoplasma bovis outbreak in a herd of north american bison (bison bison). | a disease outbreak of high morbidity and high mortality in bison (bison bison) was investigated. clinical signs included lameness, swollen joints, respiratory distress, and lethargy. fifty-three of 194 animals died. cows between 5 and 10 years of age were the most affected group, in which 40 of 88 animals died. necropsies were performed on several animals. there were abscesses in the lung and liver, as well as fibrinosuppurative pleuritis, polyarthritis, and disseminated microabscesses in variou ... | 2010 | 20807947 |
