Detection of Mycoplasma gallisepticum Infection in Turkey and Chicken Farms of Tamilnadu, India

Avian mycoplasmas are smallest, cell wall less, self-replicating bacteria that are described to cause infections of poultry since 1900s. Mycoplasmal infection was described for the first time as a respiratory disease in turkeys in 1926 and later in chickens in the year 1936 (Charlton et al., 1996). Of four pathogenic avian mycoplasma species, Mycoplasma gallisepticum (MG) has been described as highly infectious respiratory pathogen of poultry causing chronic respiratory disease (CRD) in chicken and infectious sinusitis in turkeys. Other species include M. synoviae of chicken and turkey; M.
