Poultry birds are affected with lot of infectious diseases in which Mycoplasma synoviae is one of vital significance. Mycoplasma infection can be diagnosed on several basis including history of disease in chickens, clinical signs of infected chickens, necropsy practices, microscopic lesions, and...

Mycoplasma bovis is a pathogen heavily involved in bovine respiratory disease, so much so that it is often isolated in association with bacteria. The absence of the cell wall makes it intrinsically resistant to some antibiotics such as those belonging to the β-lactam class. Furthermore, it is...

The purpose of this report is to present and summarise some of the most important research published on these mycoplasmas over the past 8-10 years, covering their fundamental biology; diagnosis of infected herds and animals; pathogenesis and determinants of virulence; immunology and critical...

Mycoplasmosis is a major and economic threat currently facing the poultry industry worldwide. The main pathogenic mycoplasmas species are Mycoplasma gallisepticum and Mycoplasma synoviae. The aim of this study was to identify and molecular characterization of Mycoplasma species from broilers and...

Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae (MHP) infection occurs globally and contributes to economic losses. Acute infections occur in immunologically naive populations affecting pigs of all ages and causing clinical signs including fever, coughing, acute respiratory distress, and death. An acute MHP infection was ...

A dairy cow was presented fourteen days after calving with anorexia and hyperthermia in July in Quebec. The cow had slight anaemia. The exact origin of the fever could not be determined from the clinical examination. Ancillary tests revealed a Mycoplasma wenyonii infection.

To confirm the DNA recombination activity of the rec A of Mycoplasma bovis, the recA gene was cloned from the genome of the M.bovis PG45 strain and constructed into the prokaryotic expression plasmid p ET-28 a. The expression conditions were optimized. The recombinant recA protein was purified with ...
