“…Findings that implicate mycoplasmas in respiratory disease of game birds range from early investigations by Keymer (1961), in which a "pathogenic type" of mycoplasma was recovered in eggs, to more recent investigations of natural cases of infectious sinusitis in which M. gallisepticu m was recovered in laboratory culture medium (Poveda et al, 1986;Reece et al, 1986;Cookson & Shivaprasad, 1994). Our study appears to confirm the involvement of M. gallisepticu m in some incidents of upper respiratory disease in game birds.…”

Pheasants and partridges with signs of upper respiratory disease were cultured for mycoplasmas and were also examined for Mycoplasma gallisepticu m and Mycoplasma synoviae using commercial polymerase chain reaction (PCR) kits. Sixty-two incidents of disease were investigated in pheasants and 12 in partridges. M. gallisepticu m was detected by culture in only four and three incidents in pheasants and partridges, respectively, but with PCR a further 15 M. gallisepticu m-positive incidents were detected in pheasants and another five in partridges. Several fast-growing Mycoplasma species, in particular Mycoplasma glycophilum, Mycoplasma gallinaceum and Mycoplasma pullorum, were isolated frequently and were thought to be impeding the isolation of M. gallisepticu m by outgrowing it. Samples yielding M. gallisepticu m isolates contained significantly fewer "contaminating" species and were exclusively from specimens submitted as whole heads rather than as swabs or as cultures from other laboratories. M. synoviae was not isolated and was detected in only one specimen by PCR.

“…The importance of M. synoviae in game birds remains unclear, although we have isolated it from the tracheas of a batch of seven normal pheasants that were trapped near an M. synoviae-infected broiler breeder farm (Bradbury et al, 2001). Poveda et al (1986) …”

“…M. synoviae was isolated from a red-legged partridge 7 months after an outbreak of respiratory disease during which M. synoviae had already been isolated (Poveda et al, 1986). M. gallinaceum and M. iners were isolated from the golden pheasant, and This is the first report describing the isolation of M anatis from the shoveler and coot.…”

An epizootiological study was carried out by investigation of 562 birds for mycoplasmas. The birds belonged to 18 different domestic and wild avian species of the following orders: Galliformes, Anseriformes, Gruiformes, Passeriformes, Columbiformes, Falconiformes, Psittasiformes and Trogoniformes. Eighty nine (15%) of the trachea and oropharynx samples examined were mycoplasma positive and 108 mycoplasma isolates were obtained and identified by the growth inhibition test, using rabbit antisera against fifteen avian mycoplasma species. The species most frequently detected were Mycoplasma gallinarum (27.7%), M. gallinaceum (17.5%), M. iners (14.8%), M. pullorum (7.4%), M. columbinum (7.4%), M. anatis (6.4%), M. synoviae (4.6%) and M. gallisepticum (3.7%). Four strains isolated from griffon vultures (Gyps fulvus) could not be identified with antisera against the 15 described avian mycoplasma species.

“…The mycoplasma has been isolated from guinea fowl with synovitis in Italy (Pascucci and others 1976), from Japanese quail with respiratory signs and synovitis in Slovenia (Bencina and others 1987), from racing pigeons with respiratory disease in Australia (Reece and others 1986) and from healthy racing pigeons in Slovenia (Bencina and others 1987). It was also reported as a cause of respiratory disease in red‐legged partridges housed with infected chickens in Spain (Poveda and others 1986) and it has been found in ducks with respiratory lesions in Singapore (Tiong 1990) and in normal ducks in contact with infected chickens in Slovenia (Bencina and others 1988). In Spain, M synoviae was isolated from three house sparrows captured on a commercial poultry farm (Poveda and others 1990).…”
