The graphical representation of mannose‐binding lectin analysis of selected South Africa chicken breeds. ABSTRACT Background Mannose‐binding lectin (MBL) is a key component of the innate immune system that plays a crucial role in binding to the microbial sugar surface to recognize and eliminate pathogens by activating the complement system.

Occurrence of Mycoplasma gallisepticum in wild birds: A systematic review and meta-analysis.
Mycoplasma gallisepticum is one of the most important poultry pathogens that can also infect wild birds, but knowledge of potential non-poultry hosts that could be reservoirs of M. gallisepticum is limited. For the paper presented here, we screened three

Molecular characterisation of Mycoplasma gallisepticum MGC2 gene from commercial chicken isolates [PDF]
Mycoplasma gallisepticum (MG), an agent that causes chronic respiratory diseases in the avian, possesses a cytadhesin mgc2 gene. Mgc2 is a second cytadhesin-like protein, localised on the tenninal bleb involved in the attachment of MG to host tissue ...

Swab Absorbability – Effect on Mycoplasma gallisepticum Isolation
A single strain of commercial Leghorn vaccinated with F strain Mycoplasma gallisepticum (MG) was used in two trials to determine the effect of swab absorbability on MG isolation. For each of the two trials, 34 birds from each of five 10,000 bird houses were randomly selected and swabbed from the choanal cleft region; 17 birds from each house were ...
