Abstract EN
Avian mycoplasmosis causes great economic losses to the poultry industry, and one of the major agents involved is Mycoplasma synovie (MS).
Serum from commercial poultry breeders (n=2781) was tested for MS by serum plate agglutination (SPA), hemagglutination inhibition (HI), and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).
From 2,781 samples tested, 736 (26.46%) were positive in SPA.
From 712 SPA-positive sera, 30 samples (4.21%) were positive in HI, and 150 samples (21.06%) were positive in ELISA.
Copositivity between ELISA and HI was 90%, and conegativity was 82.0%.
Agreement between HI and ELISA was rejected by McNemar's test (P≤.001), and Kappa coefficient showed a weak correlation between the two techniques (k=0.25; 0.21≤k<0.40).
Weak statistical correlation was observed between all serological tests (SPA, HI, and ELISA), and they should only be used for initial screening for MS.
