Abstract

A total of 134 zoo birds were examined for mycoplasma. Four out of 23 Greater flamingo (Phoenicopterus ruber roseus) were found to be infected with Mycoplasma gallisepticum (MG). Mycoplasma gallinaceum could be isolated from grey Chinese goose (Anser cygnoides) and White pelican (Pelecanus onocrotalus) in a rate of 8% and 13.8% respectively. the electrophoretic patterns of the isolated MG field strains proved that their major protein bands resembled that of Mycoplasma gallisepticum R-reference strain. A characteristic protein band at the level of 60 KD (approximately) could be detected in M.gallinaceum isolates.
