In ring-necked pheasants (), (MG) infection is frequently associated with infectious sinusitis. This condition causes swelling of the infraorbital sinuses, upper respiratory distress, depression and variable levels of mortality, and is considered one of the most important clinical and economic diseases of pheasants. This review provides a brief overview of the structure of the UK pheasant industry, with reference to the various stages within the supply chain, common diseases and challenges facing the industry. The current understanding of MG transmission, prevalence, clinical expression, diagnosis and control strategies in pheasants is subsequently summarised. In addition, this review aims to assess the current gaps in knowledge relating specifically to MG in pheasants, with reference and extrapolation where appropriate to data gathered from other species.
在环颈雉中，支原体（MG）感染常与传染性鼻窦炎有关。这种病症会导致眶下窦肿胀、上呼吸道窘迫、精神沉郁以及不同程度的死亡率，被认为是雉鸡最重要的临床和经济疾病之一。本综述简要概述了英国雉鸡产业的结构，涉及供应链中的各个阶段、常见疾病以及该产业面临的挑战。随后总结了目前对雉鸡支原体传播、流行率、临床表现、诊断和控制策略的认识。此外，本综述旨在评估目前在雉鸡支原体相关知识方面的空白，并在适当情况下参考和推断从其他物种收集的数据。
