Detection of Mycoplasma gallisepticum and Mycoplasma synoviae among Commercial Poultry in Khouzestan Province, Iran

Mycoplasmas are important  avian  pathogens,  which  can  cause  both  respiratory  disease  and  synovitis  in  poultry  that  result  in  considerable  economic  losses  to  the  poultry  industry  all  over  the  world.  The  aim  of  this  study  was  to  determine  the  prevalence  of  Mycoplas...
