Peculiarities of a respiratory mycoplasmosis course of birds

Abstract

The authors of the article consider an avian disease -the respiratory mycoplasmosis of birds, its etiology, pathogenesis, description of clinical and pathoanatomical and pathohistological features of the course of the disease. In our country, despite the fact that there is a developed system against respiratory mycoplasmosis of birds, based on protection of farms from the introduction of infection from the outside, compliance with veterinary and sanitary rules, zoohygienic and technological standards, as well as measures aimed at timely detection of the disease, the problem of the spread of this disease is quite acute. Currently, the topic of respiratory mycoplasmosis does not lose its relevance precisely because of the high percentage of infection in poultry farms. For example, as a result of research conducted by the ARRIAH over the past 5 years, it was revealed that 218 out of 250 poultry farms in Russia were diagnosed with respiratory mycoplasmosis.
