Validation of the usefulness of 26S rDNA D1/D2, internal transcribed spacer, and intergenic spacer 1 for molecular epidemiological analysis of Macrorhabdus ornithogaster. [PDF]
J Vet Med Sci, 2022 Macrorhabdus ornithogaster (MO) is an infectious fungus that causes gastric damage in birds. In this study, we established nested and seminested polymerase chain reaction (PCR) methods that specifically amplify the domain D1/D2 region (D1/D2) of 26S ribosomal DNA (rDNA), internal transcribed spacer (ITS) of rDNA, and intergenic spacer (IGS) 1 region ...

Arquivo Brasileiro De Medicina Veterinaria E Zootecnia, 2006 Since 2000, Macrorhabdus ornithogaster "megabacteriosis" has been diagnosed in the avian diseases laboratory in a diversity of avian species and varied spectrum of disease. The disease in some species (chickens, turkeys, guinea fowls) was clinically characterized by emaciation, prostration, loss of appetite, cachexia and death, with a typically chronic
