Abstract

Ostrich farms in Matrouh Governorate were investigated for the detection of mycoplasma infection. Mycoplasma could be isolated from ostriches suffered from respiratory troubles, arthritis and conjunctivitis. The highest incidence of infection was found in winter at age of 10 month (21.74%), followed by fall at age of 71/2 (17.24%), while in spring at age of 11/2 was the least (9.38%).
All the isolated strains were identified as M. gallisepticum. The present study is considered the first record for the isolation of M. gallisepticum from ostriches in Egypt.
Moreover, Staphylococcus aureus played an important role in infection of ostriches. Isolates from birds had arthritis and conjunctivitis were highest at winter season at birds of 10 month age (21.74%) followed by summer at birds of 41/2 month age (16.13%), while spring was the least (6.25%) at age of 11/2 month. All isolates were identified as S. aureas. Some cases gave mixed infection.
