This study was to conduct a surveillance of Mycoplasma synoviae (MS) infection in mixed Thai native chickens. Samples were submitted from 30 mixed Thai native chicken flocks, 15 birds per flock, aged between 1-4.5 months in the area of Nakornpathom province in the September 2005-October 2006 period. Each bird was bled for MS serology by serum plate agglutination (SPA) and enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) test kits and swabbed for MS antigen detection by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) technique. Results revealed that the positive reactors detected by the SPA test, ELISA and PCR procedure were 12, 9 and 8 flocks, …

Lung, trachea, and serum samples obtained from turkeys showing clinical signs of respiratory disease were examined for the presence of Bordetella avium infection (bordetellosis) using culture, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), and polymerase chain reaction (PCR). The material of this study consisted of 2 live turkeys at the age of 24 weeks with respiratory distress, nasal discharge, and cough that had been brought to the Microbiology Laboratory of the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Adnan Menderes University. The results of the study show that B. avium, the causative agent of bordetellosis, was not isolated from either the lung or trachea, while both …
