Abstract
Respiratory tract infections are of serious concern to the poultry industry. The present study was aimed to delineate the extent of respiratory avian mycoplasmosis associated bacterial and viral concurrent infections in the poultry flocks. A total of 146 poultry flocks of Haryana and Rajasthan, India, suspected for chronic respiratory disease (CRD) were screened for avian mycoplasmas, Newcastle disease virus (NDV), infectious bronchitis virus (IBV), and avian pathogenic Escherichia coli (APEC) by conventional polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assays. A total of 49.31% (72/146) flocks were found positive for Mycoplasma infection. Of the Mycoplasma-positive flocks, 80.55% (58/72) represented pathogenic avian mycoplasmas (MG and/or MS), while 19.44% (14/72) flocks were positive for commensal avian mycoplasmas (other than MG and MS). A correlation was deduced between avian mycoplasmosis and bacterial and/or viral co-infections. The results revealed that 17.24% (10/58) flocks had only avian mycoplasmosis infection. However, in the remaining flocks, the avian mycoplasmosis was associated either with APEC infection [17.24% (10/58)], IBV infection [43.10% (25/58)], or both APEC and IBV infections [22.41% (13/58)], respectively. Further epidemiological studies on respiratory avian mycoplasmosis associated concurrent infections with other pathogens are recommended to assess circulating strains, risk factors, and economic losses.

Abstract
Avian mycoplasmosis, mainly caused by Mycoplasma gallisepticum (MG) and Mycoplasma synoviae (MS), is an economically important disease of poultry industry. The present study was aimed to develop duplex PCR as a rapid, specific and economical method for accurate detection of MG and MS in poultry and its comparison with single (monoplex) MG/MS PCR. During present investigation, a total of 146 poultry flocks having clinical history of respiratory disease were screened. Pooled tissue samples (trachea, lungs and air sacs) from 4-5 birds of each flock were collected during necropsy at disease investigation laboratories, Hisar, Haryana, India. The single and duplex PCR assays were standardized using primers of intergenic spacer region (IGSR; 16S-23S rRNA) for MG and hemagglutinin vlhA gene for MS, with expected amplicon size of 812 bp and 1200 bp products, respectively. In single PCR, 6.85%, 2.74% and 2.74% tissue samples were found positive for MG, MS and both MG and MS, respectively. However, duplex PCR showed, 7.53%, 2.74% and 1.37% positivity for MG, MS and both MG and MS, respectively. Taking the results of monoplex PCR as a gold standard, sensitivity and specificity of the developed duplex PCR was found to be 94.44% and 100%, respectively. Moreover, Cohen's kappa statistic (k = 0.97) measured a 'perfect' agreement between monoplex and duplex PCR assays. The positive and negative predictive values of duplex PCR was found to be 1.0 and 0.9922, respectively at 95% confidence interval (CI), as compared to monoplex PCR. The simultaneous use of two genes in a duplex PCR was more rapid and economical than two separate single PCR reactions.

Abstract
SummaryTo date, very little is known about avian mycoplasma infections in Tunisia. Mycoplasma gallisepticum is one of the most economically significant pathogen for poultry in Tunisia and worldwide. Based on the paucity of data regarding the genetic profiles and antibacterial behavior of M. gallisepticum strains in Tunisia, the present study was conducted. Genetic typing and phylogenetic relationships of 40 M. gallisepticum strains (20 Tunisian isolates, 19 international strains collection, and S6 reference strain) were investigated by gene-targeted sequencing (GTS) using 4 loci ( pvpA , mgc2 , vlhA and the InterGenic Spacer Region (IGSR) between the 16S and the 23S rRNA genes). GTS reveals 12 STs that were found to spread over 2 clonal complexes (CC) and 5 singletons.Emergence of enrofloxacin and spiramycin resistance among M. gallisepticum local isolates have been revealed using the broth microdilution method. Causal mutations have been identified by sequencing the quinolone-resistance determining region (QRDR) and domain II and V of 23S rRNA as well as the rplD and rplV genes for enrofloxacine- and macrolide-resistant isolates, respectively. The emersion of antibiotic resistance to enrofloxacin and spiramycin has been identified as being related to a distinctive clonal complex formed by 4 different STs (ST2, ST3, ST4 and ST5) which would suggest that this phenotype was clonally disseminated.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In Southeast Asian countries, including Myanmar, poultry farming is a major industry. In order to manage and maintain stable productivity, it is important to establish policies for biosecurity. Infectious respiratory diseases are a major threat to poultry farming. Avian influenza and Newcastle disease have been reported in Myanmar, but no scientific information is available for other respiratory pathogens, such as mycoplasmas and infectious bronchitis virus (IBV). Identifying the genotypes and serotypes of IBVs is especially important to inform vaccination programs. In this study, we detected Mycoplasma gallisepticum (MG), M. synoviae (MS), and IBV in several poultry farms in Myanmar. RESULTS Samples were collected from 20 farms in three major poultry farming areas in Myanmar, and MG, MS, and IBV were detected on two, four, and eight farms, respectively, by polymerase chain reaction. Phylogenetic analysis revealed that the observed MG and MS isolates were not identical to vaccine strains. Three different genotypes of IBV were detected, but none was an unknown variant. CONCLUSIONS Mycoplasmas and IBV were detected on poultry farms in Myanmar. Periodic surveillance is required to establish the distribution of each pathogen, and to institute better vaccine protocols.

Abstract
Aim: Worldwide, Mycoplasma synoviae (MS) is an important pathogen of poultry, especially for chicken and turkey. It causes respiratory tract infection and infectious sinusitis. The study was conducted to determine the seroprevalence of MS infection with associated risk factors and identification of MS organism in unvaccinated flocks of commercial breeder farms of the Chittagong district, Bangladesh. Materials and Methods: A total of 365 serum samples were collected and tested for MS using serum plate agglutination (SPA) test for determination of MS seroprevalence. On the other hand, tracheal swabs were collected from each seropositive flocks for polymerase chain reaction (PCR) to determine the presence of MS organism. Results: Among the farms, the highest prevalence was found to be 69% and the lowest prevalence was 28% with the average 60%. The seroprevalence of MS infection in breeder farms was highest 70% with the flock size >10,000 birds, whereas it was lowest 57% in the flocks ranging from 4000 to 7000. According to age group, the prevalence was found highest 70% in >60 weeks age group of birds and lowest 42% in 10-19 weeks group. The seroprevalence of MS in winter season was found as highest as 64%, whereas it was found lowest 60% in the summer season. There was a statistically significant difference (p<0.01) among the seroprevalence of MS in different breeder farms, flock size, and age groups, but there was no significant (p>0.05) difference in the winter, summer, and rainy season. To confirm the presence of MS in the samples, PCR test was applied using specific primers to amplify a 214 bp region of the 16S rRNA gene of the organism. In PCR, all seropositive flocks showed a positive result for MS. Conclusion: As the plate agglutination test result showed 100% similar with PCR result, it can be suggested that agglutination test is better than molecular and culture techniques for MS detection and it is also cheaper and less time-consuming method.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Infectious arthritis in broilers represents an economic and health problem, resulting in severe losses due to retarded growth and downgrading at the slaughterhouse. The most common agents associated with cases of infectious arthritis in poultry are avian reovirus (ARV) and Mycoplasma synoviae (MS). The accurate differentiation and rapid diagnosis of ARV and MS are essential prerequisites for the effective control and prevention of these avian pathogens in poultry flocks. This study thus aimed to develop and validate a duplex real-time PCR assay for the simultaneous detection and quantification of ARV and MS. METHODS Specific primers and probes for each pathogen were designed to target the special sequence of the ARV σC gene or the MS phase-variable surface lipoprotein hemagglutinin (vlhA) gene. A duplex real-time PCR assay was developed, and the reaction conditions were optimized for the rapid detection and quantification of ARV and MS. RESULTS The duplex real-time PCR assay was capable of ARV- and MS-specific detection without cross-reaction with other non-targeted avian pathogens. The sensitivity of this assay was 2 × 10(1) copies for a recombinant plasmid containing ARV σC or MS vlhA gene, and 100 times higher than that of conventional PCR. This newly developed PCR assay was also reproducible and stable. All tested field samples of ARV and/or MS were detectable with this duplex real-time PCR assay compared with pathogen isolation and identification as well as serological tests. CONCLUSION This duplex real-time PCR assay is highly specific, sensitive and reproducible and thus could provide a rapid, specific and sensitive diagnostic tool for the simultaneous detection of ARV and MS in poultry flocks. The assay will be useful not only for clinical diagnostics and disease surveillance but also for the efficient control and prevention of ARV and MS infections.

Abstract
Background: Mycoplasma synoviae is an important avian pathogen which can cause both respiratory disease and synovial joint inflammation (synovitis) in poultry. Mycoplasmas spp. may cause the respiratory system infection in ostriches with symptoms such as inflammation of the nose, trachea and also damages of lungs. Objectives: The current study aimed to use the M. synoviae specific Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) and microbiological methods in order to isolate and identify M. synoviae from suspected ostriches in Kerman Province, Iran, and compare the two methods (microbiological and PCR) employed to confirm Mycoplasmal contamination of ostrich lungs. Materials and Methods: Fifty three samples of different parts of lung and trachea were immediately collected after slaughtering the ostriches in Kerman Province six months. Samples were cultured in the same conditions in pleuropneumonia-like organism (PPLO) broth and to isolate and identify M. synoviae, PCR and microbiological methods were conducted. The identified isolates were confirmed by specific amplification of 16S rRNA gene (163 and 207 base pair). Results: In the current study, 25 and 17 out of 53 ostrich samples were identified as Mycoplasma-positive in the PCR and microbiological methods, respectively; and 13 out of 25 the mentioned Mycoplasma-positive samples were also confirmed by PCR method. Conclusions: The current study showed that PCR method is time consuming, effective, and efficient method to detect M. synoviae infection in ostriches. PCR method could be recommended as an alternative for culturing; M. synoviae was isolated from ostriches for first time in Kerman Province, Iran.

Abstract
A new, rapid, and high-throughput GenomeLab Gene Expression Profiler (GeXP) analyzer-based multiplex PCR method was developed for simultaneous detection and differentiation of nine avian respiratory pathogens. The respiratory pathogens included in this study were avian influenza subtypes H5, H7, and H9, infectious bronchitis virus (IBV), Newcastle disease virus (NDV), infectious laryngotracheitis virus (ILTV), Mycoplasma gallisepticum (MG), Mycoplasma synoviae (MS) and Haemophilus paragallinarum (HPG). Ten pairs of primers were designed using conserved and specific sequence genes of AIV subtypes and respiratory pathogens from GenBank. Single and mixed pathogen cDNA/DNA templates were used to evaluate the specificity of the GeXP-multiplex assay. The corresponding specific DNA products were amplified for each pathogen. The specific DNA product amplification peaks of nine respiratory pathogens were observed on the GeXP analyzer. Non-respiratory avian pathogens, including chicken infectious anemia virus, fowl adenovirus, avian reovirus and infectious bursal disease virus, did not produce DNA products. The detection limit for the GeXP-multiplex assay was determined to be 100 copies/μl using various pre-mixed plasmids/ssRNAs containing known target genes of the respiratory pathogens. Further, GeXP-multiplex PCR assay was 100% specific when 24 clinical samples with respiratory infections were tested in comparison with conventional PCR method. The GeXP-multiplex PCR assay provides a novel tool for simultaneous detection and differentiation of nine avian respiratory pathogens.

Abstract
A quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) was validated for the detection of Mycoplasma synoviae (PCR equivalents of colony-forming units [CFU eq.]) in chicken joint specimens with time and compared with direct mycoplasma culture. Joint specimens were obtained from 70 layer pullets inoculated intravenously with M. synoviae at 6 weeks of age. Ten control birds were injected intra-articularly with Freund's complete adjuvant. Macroscopic joint lesions were observed in 54 infected birds, of which 11 showed positive M. synoviae culture. The specificity of direct mycoplasma culture was high (100%, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 74 to 100), but its sensitivity low (16%, 95% CI = 8 to 26). Most positive results were obtained during the first 2 weeks after onset of joint swelling using synovial fluid. The qPCR was positive in 26 of 28 synovial fluid samples and in 51 of 70 joint swabs. The sterile joint samples obtained from Freund's complete adjuvant-injected birds were negative in the mycoplasma culture. The specificity and sensitivity of the qPCR for synovial fluid samples were 100% (95% CI = 65 to 100) and 93% (95% CI = 77 to 99); for joint swabs they were 100% (95% CI = 74 to 100) and 73% (95% CI = 61 to 83), respectively. Positive qPCR results (10(0.3) (to) (4.6) CFU eq./ml) were found until the end of the experiment (12 weeks post inoculation). At the end of the study, eight out of 16 joint swabs from birds without macroscopic joints lesions were positive in the qPCR (10(2.0) (to) (2.8) CFU eq./ml). Under the conditions of this study, the sensitivity of the qPCR was higher than that of direct mycoplasma culture (P< 0.0001) during the acute, subacute and chronic stages of arthritis.

Abstract
Mycoplasma gallisepticum is a bacterial pathogen of poultry that is estimated to cause annual losses exceeding $780 million. The National Poultry Improvement Plan guidelines recommend regular surveillance and intervention strategies to contain M. gallisepticum infections and ensure mycoplasma-free avian stocks, but several factors make detection of M. gallisepticum and diagnosis of M. gallisepticum infection a major challenge. Current techniques are laborious, require special expertise, and are typically plagued by false results. In this study, we describe a novel detection strategy which uses silver nanorod array-surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (NA-SERS) for direct detection of avian mycoplasmas. As a proof of concept for use in avian diagnostics, we used NA-SERS to detect and differentiate multiple strains of avian mycoplasma species, including Acholeplasma laidlawii, Mycoplasma gallinarum, Mycoplasma gallinaceum, Mycoplasma synoviae, and M. gallisepticum, including vaccine strains 6/85, F, and ts-11. Chemometric multivariate analysis of spectral data was used to classify these species rapidly and accurately, with >93% sensitivity and specificity. Furthermore, NA-SERS had a lower limit of detection that was 100-fold greater than that of standard PCR and comparable to that of real-time quantitative PCR. Detection of M. gallisepticum in choanal cleft swabs from experimentally infected birds yielded good sensitivity and specificity, suggesting that NA-SERS is applicable for clinical detection.

Abstract
Mycoplasma synoviae is an important causative agent of avian mycoplasmosis. In the present study the conserved domain of the variable lipoprotein and hemagglutinin (vlhA) gene of M. synoviae was sequenced and analyzed for 19 field strains of M. synoviae isolated from chickens across Japan. This analysis revealed that there were at least nine genotypes of M. synoviae present in Japan. Furthermore, we found a single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) within this region in all the Japanese isolates, and based on this finding, we established a PCR method with cycling probe technology to differentiate between these field isolates and the live M. synoviae vaccine strain Mycoplasma synoviae-H (MS-H).

Abstract
Infections with Mollicutes species (such as Mycoplasma, Acholeplasma, and Ureaplasma) can induce a variety of problems in living organisms and laboratory cell cultures. Therefore, it is necessary to establish a routine diagnostic protocol for Mycoplasma infection in order to ensure reliable research results, as well as the safety of commercial biological products. For that purpose a novel PCR-based procedure using specific designed primers complementary to 16S rRNA genome region of mollicute species was evaluated. PCR was optimized and sensitivity and specificity was evaluated by defined cell count concentrations (2-31250 CFU/ml) of different strains of Mycoplasma, Acholeplasma and Ureaplasma. Amplicon (272 bp) was cloned by PCR-cloning and sequenced by dideoxy chain termination. PCR, was found to be able to detect 10 copies of mollicute target DNA. No cross-reactivity with genomic DNA of non-mollicute bacteria or human cell lines was observed. Forty seven human and animal cell lines were evaluated for mollicute contamination. Twenty five cell lines (53%) were correctly identified as contaminated by this molecular approach. The results of this study demonstrated that this PCR-based method is not only fast and reproducible, but also highly sensitive and specific for detecting contaminant mycoplasmas in cell cultures.

Abstract
Mycoplasma synoviae, a major worldwide pathogen in poultry, causes respiratory tract infection and arthritis in chickens and turkeys. Two major surface antigens of M. synoviae are encoded by a single gene, vlhA (variably expressed lipoprotein and hemagglutinin). The gene product is cleaved post-translationally to yield the lipoprotein major surface protein (MSP) B (MSPB) and the hemagglutinin MSPA. The availability of MSPA as an antigen for serodiagnosis was studied by means of a protein chip based on surface plasmon resonance imaging (SPRi). The diagnostic potential of SPRi for measurement of levels of antibody to MSPA was compared with that of a conventional enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) kit. The results from SPRi, a process that took only 1 h, were similar to those from ELISA. Therefore, MSPA can be used as an antigen for serologic studies, and SPRi, a label-free and high-throughput method, may be a valuable tool in avian serodiagnostic studies.

Abstract
Using published primers, detection of Mycoplasma synoviae and strain identification using the vlhA gene sequence was attempted. However, of 21 M. synoviae strains examined, three could not be amplified, so a new reverse primer was designed with a target in the conserved region of the vlhA gene. This allowed all 21 M. synoviae strains, a further nine strains and also material from 11 swab samples from M. synoviae-positive birds, to produce a PCR product, suggesting that the method could also be suitable for clinical specimens. The protocol was then tested on the type strains of M. synoviae and the other 22 recognised avian Mycoplasma species, with amplification of M. synoviae only. Further testing demonstrated that this PCR was equally or more sensitive than other PCR tests used to detect M. synoviae. Subsequent DNA sequence analysis of the PCR product based on percent similarity and evolutionary relationship appeared to be a useful tool for strain differentiation.

Abstract
Background Among the surface antigens of Mycoplasma hominis, the P120' protein was previously shown to elicit a subtle antibody response and appears to be relatively conserved. To get better insight into the evolution of this protein, we analysed the genetic variability of its surface exposed region in 27 M. hominis isolates recovered from the genital tract of Tunisian patients with infertility disorders. Methods All specimens were processed for culture and PCR amplification of the N-terminal surface exposed region of p120' gene. PCR products were sequenced to evaluate the genetic variability, to test for adaptive selection, and to infer the phylogenetic relationship of the M. hominis isolates. Results Sequence analysis showed a total of 25 single nucleotide polymorphisms distributed through 23 polymorphic sites, yielding 13 haplotypes. All but one mutation were confined within three distinct regions. Analysis of the amino acid-based phylogenetic tree showed a predominant group of 17 closely related isolates while the remaining appear to have significantly diverged. Conclusion By analysing a larger sample of M. hominis recovered from patients with urogenital infections, we show here that the P120' protein undergoes substantial level of genetic variability at its surface exposed region.

Abstract
In this study, we report the development and validation of a real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assay using a Taqman-labeled probe for the detection of Mycoplasma gallisepticum (MGLP assay). The MGLP assay was highly specific with a detection limit of 25 template copies per reaction and a quantification limit of 100 template copies per reaction. Validation of the assay was completed with 1247 samples (palatine cleft and tracheal swabs) from M. gallisepticum-positive and -negative chicken flocks. The MGLP assay was compared to an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), a conventional polymerase chain reaction assay (mgc2 PCR), and isolation of M. gallisepticum from naturally infected flocks. A total of 805 samples collected from negative flocks, as verified by ELISA and/or mgc2 PCR, were negative by the MGLP assay. A total of 442 samples were collected from positive flocks, of which a total of 228 samples were positive by the MGLP assay. These results agreed for 98.87% of the samples when tested by mgc2 PCR. When comparing the MGLP assay with M gallisepticum isolation, the MGLP assay was more sensitive than isolation for detecting positive birds from a positive flock, 172/265 and 50/265, respectively. Overall, the MGLP assay and M. gallisepticum isolation agreed for 52.8% of the samples tested. In conclusion, the MGLP assay was highly specific, sensitive, and reproducible, and allowed the quantification of template copies directly from clinical samples.

Abstract
A recombinant phage library harbouring Mycoplasma meleagridis (MM) genomic DNA fragments was generated in the bacteriophage lambda gt11 expression vector. The library was screened for expression of MM specific antigens with a polyclonal antiserum that had been preadsorbed with antigens of the most common unrelated avian mycoplasma species. A 49-amino acid antigenic domain unique to MM was isolated, expressed in Escherichia coli, and its serodiagnostic potential was demonstrated. An antiserum raised against this MM-specific antigenic domain recognized a cluster of seven membrane-associated MM proteins with molecular masses ranging from 34 to 75 kDa. Overall, this study resulted in the identification of a potent serodiagnostic tool and revealed the complex antigenic nature of MM.

Abstract
Mycoplasma synoviae (Ms) is an important pathogen of poultry, causing economic losses to this industry. Early and reliable diagnosis is a key to controlling the spread of this organism. In this study, a polymerase chain reaction with one primer based on the intergenic spacer region (ISR) was validated for detection of Ms. The ISR primer was paired with a general primer from within the 23S rRNA gene. The PCR primers were tested with the 22 other recognised avian Mycoplasma species to check the specificity and with 21 field isolates of Ms from various hosts and countries, and with several swab samples. The PCR appeared to be specific and sensitive. Four different sample preparation methods were compared for use in this PCR, and the amplification protocol was compared with three others, confirming the comparative sensitivity of the new PCR.

Abstract
An adult female wild turkey exhibiting disorientation and failure to flee when approached was submitted to the Mississippi Veterinary Research and Diagnostic Laboratory. Gross pathologic examination revealed evidence of dehydration and the presence of modest numbers of adult nematodes in the small intestine. Histologic examination revealed extensive multifocal perivascular lymphocytic infiltration in brain, marked heterophilic hyperplasia in bone marrow, and multifocal interstitial lymphocytic infiltration in heart, pancreas, ventriculus, and skeletal muscles. West Nile virus (WNV) was isolated from the brain, lung, and kidney tissues using cultured Vero cells. Higher copies of viral RNA were detected from brain, lung, and kidney than from heart, liver, or spleen by quantitative real-time reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RRT-PCR) analysis. Immunohistochemical (IHC) analysis detected WNV antigen in various tissues including neurons, kidney, respiratory tract epithelium, heart, and bone marrow. On the basis of the data from this investigation, it is concluded that WNV caused encephalitis along with many other pathologic changes in the affected wild turkey.
