Mycoplasma synoviaein the guinea‐fowl [PDF]
Avian Pathology, 1976 A mycoplasma strain, isolated from natural synovitis of guinea-fowl, was identified as Mycoplasma synoviae. In experimental infection this agent showed clear pathogenicity for guinea-fowl, and to a lesser degree for chickens. In guinea-fowl the strain was more likely to result in synovitis and amyloidosis when inoculated by the intravenous route and to
