Comparative studies on mycoplasma Gallisepticum and mycoplasma Synoviae in migratory and captive quails

الملخص EN

This study was conducted to compare between the Mycoplasma gallisepticum and Mycoplasma synoviae in migratory and captive quails.

Fifty four (13.5%) and 87 (21.75%) Mycoplasma strain isolates were isolated from 400 samples from migratory and captive quails respectively.

Ten (2.5%) Mycoplasma gallisepticum strains were isolated from captive quails by culture method and identified by PCR while, 9 (2.25%) Mycoplasma gallisepticum strains were isolated from migratory quails by culture method but 11 (2.75%) strains were identified by PCR.

Mycoplasma synoviae couldn’t be isolated by culture method or PCR.

The most effective antibiotic was Tylosin which could inhibit the growth of 88.88% of Mycoplasma gallisepticum isolated in case of migratory quails and 80% in case of captive quails using MIC Technique
