Mycoplasma meleagridis appears to localize primarily in the respiratory tissues of the developing turkey embryo. This was determined by the daily collection throughout the incubation period of smears of embryonic tissues from 261 fertile turkey eggs. The tissues were examined using fluorescent antibody procedures and the earliest detection from positive tissues were: day 6, blastoderm (10%); day 8, sinus (44%) and peritoneum (55%); day 19, lung (11%) and trachea (44%); day 23, air sacs (62%).
火鸡支原体似乎主要定位于发育中的火鸡胚胎的呼吸组织中。这是通过在整个孵化期每天收集261枚受精火鸡蛋的胚胎组织涂片来确定的。使用荧光抗体程序对组织进行检查，从阳性组织中最早检测到的时间为：第6天，胚盘（10%）；第8天，窦（44%）和腹膜（55%）；第19天，肺（11%）和气管（44%）；第23天，气囊（62%）。
