| 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 |
| mycoplasma gallopavonis in eastern wild turkeys. | serum samples and tracheal cultures were collected from eastern wild turkeys (meleagris gallopavo sylvestris) trapped for relocation in south carolina (usa) during 1985 to 1990. sera were tested for mycoplasma gallisepticum and m. synoviae by the rapid plate agglutination and hemagglutination inhibition tests and were found to be negative. tracheal cultures were negative for all pathogenic mycoplasma spp., including m. gallisepticum, m. synoviae, m. meleagridis, and m. iowae. however, m. gallopa ... | 1992 | 1602583 |
| use of polymerase chain reactions to detect mycoplasma gallisepticum, mycoplasma imitans, mycoplasma iowae, mycoplasma meleagridis and mycoplasma synoviae in birds of prey. | certain mycoplasma spp. are pathogens of poultry, but little is known of the role of mycoplasmas in disease of birds of prey. species-specific polymerase chain reactions (pcrs) for the detection of the poultry pathogens mycoplasma gallisepticum, mycoplasma imitans, mycoplasma iowae, mycoplasma meleagridis and mycoplasma synoviae were therefore evaluated for use in birds of prey. the specificities of the pcr methods were established using avian and other mycoplasmas and also selected walled bacte ... | 2008 | 18661307 |
| mycoplasmas in wild turkeys living in association with domestic fowl. | one hundred and nineteen merriam's wild turkeys (meleagris gallopavo merriami) and 31 domestic chickens coexisting on a ranch in west-central colorado (usa) were surveyed for mycoplasmosis by serologic and cultural methods. although no clinical signs were apparent in any wild turkeys tested, 51 (43%) had positive rapid plate agglutination (rpa) reactions for m. gallisepticum (mg) and/or m. synoviae (ms); 37% of 56 adults and 48% of 63 subadults were classified as positive reactors to mg and/or m ... | 1997 | 9249699 |
