Diagnostic guidance: Mycoplasma testing options
...l interactions, and spend more time resting. Fever is a common response to mycoplasma infections. Mycoplasma infections can also result in reproductive issues for breeding animals such as infertility, miscarriages, and weak offspring. These bacteria can also affect the mammary glands causing mastitis and poor milking. Though Mycoplasma species need special conditions to grow, TVMDL can culture for the bacteria from tissues or swabs. There are also...

TVMDL retires Mycoplasma gallisepticum (HI) and Mycoplasma synoviae (HI) tests
...l retire the Mycoplasma gallisepticum hemagglutination inhibition (HI) and Mycoplasma synoviae (HI) tests due to a decline in requests. As an alternative, clients may request Mycoplasma gallisepticum & synoviae Multiplex (rtPCR). The rtPCR test is more sensitive and specific than the HI tests. Clients who still wish to use the HI method may submit samples to Poultry Research and Diagnostic Laboratory (PRDL) at Mississippi State University or the G...

Mycoplasma synoviae (MS) infection in meat type chickens
Mycoplasma synoviae (MS) infection in meat type chickens Gabriel Senties-Cue, MVZ, EPAA, MS Mycoplasma synoviae (MS) infection was diagnosed in a flock of 113-day-old, brown feathered, meat type, chickens. Ten live birds were submitted to the Texas A&M Veterinary Medical Diagnostic Laboratory (TVMDL) in Center, TX with a clinical history of respiratory problems and increased mortality. At the necropsy examination, the birds had tracheas with redd...

Porcine Reproductive and Respiratory Syndrome: A focus on the respiratory syndrome
...fection with M. hyopneumoniae. This relationship is presumed to begin with Mycoplasma-induced proliferation and activation of macrophages. These macrophages are potentially used to enhance the replication or persistence of PRRSV. In contrast, infection with PRRSV does not appear to have a significant effect on the severity of Mycoplasmal lesions. Therefore, control of M. hyopneumoniae is one strategy for minimizing the effect of PRRSV in endemical...

Pinkeye in cattle
...n infection with Moraxella bovis is usually a major part of the infection. Mycoplasma spp., Moraxella bovoculi, and respiratory viruses may also be factors. Affected animals should be separated from non-infected animals as flies and other vectors can help spread the infection to other cattle. Young animals are most often affected, with dust and shipping causing exacerbation of the condition. Treatment of the condition with antibiotics can be very...
