“…Three Mycoplasma species described recently, M. lipofaciens, M. glycophilum and M. cloacale were also recovered from chickens. The isolation of M cloacale is probably the first from a chicken (Bradbury et al, 1987). In chickens there was no evidence of mycoplasmas which are assumed as characteristic for ducks and gèese (M. anatis), turkeys (M. meleagridis and M. gallopavonis) and pigeons (M. columbinasale, M. columbinum and M. columboralé).…”

SUMMARYMycoplasmas were isolated from chickens, chicken embryos, turkeys, ducks, geese, pigeons and Japanese quail and their embryos. Altogether 792 birds and embryos were examined and 411 of them (52%) were infected with mycoplasmas. Isolates were identified by indirect immunofluorescence using monospecific rabbit antisera against 16 reconised species of avian Mycoplasma (AM) and two species of Acholeplasma. In all 633 strains of Mycoplasma were detected and most of these belonged to recognised AM species. M. anatis was found only in ducks and geese; M. columbinasale, M. columbinum and M. columborale only in pigeons, while M. meleagridis and M. gallopavonis isolates were exclusive to the turkey. M. synoviae was the most frequently isolated species (172 isolates). The host range of M. gallisepticum was the same as M. synoviae but with slightly fewer isolations. M. gallinarum, M. gallinaceum, M. pullorum, M. glycophilum and M. lipofaciens were not uncommon but were mainly confined to the chicken. The exceptions were isolates of M. lipofaciens from a turkey and a duck and an isolate of M. gallinarum from a turkey. M. cloacale was isolated from a chicken, a turkey and a duck. Acholeplasmas and untyped strains were isolated from all the host species except Japanese quail. Isolations of M. synoviae from a pigeon and Japanese quail and M. cloacale from a chicken, are thought to be new findings.

“…Nonetheless, M. gallisepticum was also isolated from a short-distance migrant, Uria aalge, in Germany . Mycoplasma synoviae was isolated from a dead juvenile Rissa tridactyla in Brittany, France (Kempf et al, 2000), and Mycoplasma cloacale from migratory Aythya fuligula, Alauda arvensis, and S. vulgaris in Great Britain and France (Bradbury et al, 1987).…”

The potential for transport and dissemination of certain pathogenic microorganisms by migratory birds is of concern. Migratory birds might be involved in dispersal of microorganisms as their biological carriers, mechanical carriers, or as carriers of infected hematophagous ectoparasites (e.g., ixodid ticks). Many species of microorganisms pathogenic to homeothermic vertebrates including humans have been associated with free-living migratory birds. Migratory birds of diverse species can play significant roles in the ecology and circulation of some arboviruses (e.g., eastern and western equine encephalomyelitis and Sindbis alphaviruses, West Nile and St. Louis encephalitis flaviviruses), influenza A virus, Newcastle disease virus, duck plague herpesvirus, Chlamydophila psittaci, Anaplasma phagocytophilum, Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato, Campylobacter jejuni, Salmonella enterica, Pasteurella multocida, Mycobacterium avium, Candida spp., and avian hematozoans. The efficiency of dispersal of pathogenic microorganisms depends on a wide variety of biotic and abiotic factors affecting the survival of the agent in, or disappearance from, a habitat or ecosystem in a new geographic area.

“…The presence of M. anatis and M. cloacale in ducks is not surprising since they have been found previously (Roberts, 1964;Jordan and Amin, 1980;Bradbury et al, 1987). M. iowae, M. inen, M. pullorum and M. glycophilum were also isolated from the chickens but not the ducks.…”

“…However, recent reports show that also recovery of M. cloacale (MC) is not rare (Bradbury et al, 1987;Bencina et al, 1987b). Natural infections with MG (Jordan and Amin, 1980) have an uncertain pathogenicity.…”

SUMMARY Mycoplasma gallisepticum (MG), M. synoviae (MS), M. cloacale (MC) and M. anatis were isolated from ducks kept in a yard in close contact with chickens that were infected with MG, MS and some other avian Mycoplasma species. MG, MS and MC were isolated also from embryonated duck eggs and from infertile duck eggs laid during the first four weeks of egg production. Infected ducks did not show clinical signs of MG or MS infection in chicken. Detectable MG and MS agglutinating antibodies were not present in duck sera. However, they were found in two yolks of 10 tested from embryonated eggs. In the haemagglutination -inhibition (HI) tests yolks from embryonated eggs yielded significantly higher (P<0.01) titres of MS antibodies than duck sera. Geometric mean value of MS HI titres in tested duck sera was 20, while those of yolks from embryonated eggs was 333. It is probably the first report concerning isolation of MS from the naturally infected ducks and furthermore, concerning isolation of MG, MS and MC from naturally infected embryonated eggs.
