Abstract

Mycoplasma gallisepticum (MG) is an important avian pathogen which causes significant economic losses within layer poultry industry. To control of this economic losses, early and specific detection is necessary. A total of 48 (tracheal swabs, lungs and air sacs) samples were collected from different infected/suspected flocks causing respiratory distress. DNA was extracted and then, 16sRNA gene was amplified by PCR using species specific primers and identified 6 positive samples (12.5%). MG exhibited from tracheal swab, lung and air sac were 25, 6.25 and 6.25% respectively. Based on result, it is concluded that PCR using tracheal swab can be efficient for rapid screening and early detection of MG in layer chicken.
