Abstract
Specific-pathogen-free ducks 24 and 180 days old were inoculated intranasally with the S6 strain of Mycoplasma gallisepticum (MG). No significant gross lesions were found in trachea, lung or air sacs at 7 or 28 days postinfection (PI). MG was recovered from the infraorbital sinus and trachea but not from the air sacs 7 and 28 days PI. A few ducks responded serologically by developing agglutinating antibody. MG multiplied in embryonated duck eggs but to lower titers than in embryonated chicken eggs.
