Molecular Detection of Avian Mycoplasmas in Poultry Affected with Respiratory Infections in Haryana (India)

Haryana is a small state of India but it is the 5 th largest in poultry population (Livestock census, 2012). There are many poultry pathogens which are responsible for huge economic losses to poultry industry through respiratory infections such as Mycoplasma, E. coli, Newcastle disease virus, Infectious bronchitis virus. The mycoplasmas do not have cell wall and are smallest self-replicating prokaryotes. There are mainly two Mycoplasma species which are pathogenic in nature viz. M. gallisepticum (MG) and M. synoviae (MS). In chickens M. gallisepticum causes Chronic Respiratory Disease and usually show loss of appetite, dullness, depression, tendency to huddle together, poor growth, emaciation, respiratory rales, tracheitis, air sacculitis, coughing, sneezing, International Journal of Current Microbiology and Applied Sciences ISSN: 2319-7706 Volume 6 Number 6 (2017) pp. 2155-2162 Journal homepage: http://www.ijcmas.com
