Abstract
Mycoplasma gallisepticum (MG) is a prokaryote, intermediate between bacteria and viruses, and lacks a cell wall. MG mainly causes chronic respiratory disease in chickens and other poultry and infectious sinusitis in turkeys. In addition, MG infection can cause poor carcass sorting and feed processing efficiency in broiler chickens. Egg production and hatching rate in laying hens tends to decrease with increasing numbers of weak broods. Several methods are available for isolation of the microorganism: culturing, PCR diagnosis, etc. There is no definite treatment against this disease, but there are a number of attenuated vaccines produced by different countries as prophylaxis. At this point in time, the question remains both the need for further identification of a more sensitive and specific diagnostic system for the invention, as well as more in-depth studies of mycoplasma at the molecular level, which will allow further production of vaccines with a large number of strains.
