Mycoplasma synoviae and Mycoplasma gallisepticum are small, bacteria-like, organisms that occur in chickens and turkeys. Both M. synoviae and M. gallisepticum primarily infect the respiratory apparatus; in M. gallisepticum this often leads to clinical, often recurrent respiratory problems. Strains of M. synoviae frequently occur with greater preference for infecting the joints and oviduct, resulting in lameness, decrease in production and failure.
