A survey of mycoplasma infections of chickens, turkeys and ducks was made on tissues from a variety of sources and birds of various ages, and from pipped and dead-in-shell turkey embryos. The tissues examined consisted mainly of respiratory tissue and the cloaca and contents and also a small number of joint lesions and other tissues. From chickens, mycoplasmas were isolated from a total of 138 tissues with Mycoplasma gallisepticum in preponderance. This was followed by M gallinarum, untyped organisms, M synoviae and a number of other mycoplasmas and Acholeplasma laidlawii. From turkeys, poults and embryos, mycoplasmas were recovered from 164 tissues with M meleagridis in preponderance. This was followed by M gallisepticum, serovar I, M synoviae and a number of other species including untyped isolates. From ducks, M gallisepticum and M anatis were recovered in equal numbers. Mycoplasma infections with more than one species occurred in the same tissue in all species of stock but especially in turkeys.
对来自各种来源、不同年龄的鸡、火鸡和鸭的组织，以及啄壳和死在壳内的火鸡胚胎进行了支原体感染调查。所检查的组织主要包括呼吸组织、泄殖腔及其内容物，还有少量关节病变组织和其他组织。从鸡的138个组织中分离出支原体，其中鸡毒支原体占优势。其次是鸡支原体、未分型的支原体、滑液支原体以及一些其他支原体和莱氏无胆甾原体。从火鸡、小火鸡和胚胎的164个组织中分离出支原体，其中火鸡支原体占优势。其次是鸡毒支原体血清型I、滑液支原体以及包括未分型分离株在内的一些其他种类。从鸭中，鸡毒支原体和鸭支原体的分离数量相等。在所有品种的家禽中，尤其是火鸡，同一组织中出现了一种以上支原体感染的情况。
