Poultry: Mycoplasma gallisepticum
| PREV : Mycoplasma Ciliary Attachment | NEXT : Swine: Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae |
| Description: | Like other respiratory bacterial viruses, Mycoplasma species are often host-adapted, meaning that the pathogen has adapted specific mechanisms for attachment and proliferation within a specific host species. Mycoplasma infection in poultry causes avian mycoplasmosis. |
