Detection of antibodies produced in quails (conturnix contunix japonica) against mycoplasma gallisepticum with different serological testsnt

Özet: Bu çalışmada klinik ve nekropsi bulgularına göre kronik solunum yolu (CRD) infeksiyonundan şüphelenilen bıldırcınlarda Mycoplasma gallisepticum'u (MG) izole ve identifiye etmek; MG infeksiyonlarında oluşan antikorlarının saptanmasında en çok kullanılan serolojik testlerin sensitiviteve ve spesifitelerini karşılaştırmak amaçlanmıştır. Çalışmanın materyalini solunum güçlüğü, infraorbital_ sinüslerde şişkinlik, mortalite, göz-burun akıntısı gibi şikayetlerle getirilen 10 haftalık 20 bıldırcın oluşturdu. Bakteriyolojik incelemelerde etken izolasyonu yapılamadı. Serumların hepsi AGID, RSA, HI ve ELISA ile değerlendirildi. Sırasıyla 2 (% 10), 5 (% 25), 10 (% 50) ve 17 (% 85) pozitif serum saptandı. Bıldırcınlarda MG antikorlarını saptamada konvansiyanel testlerle birlikte ELISA gibi.duyarlılığı yüksek bir yöntemin kullanılmasının faydalı olabileceği sonucuna varıldı.

Bıldırcınlarda (coturnix coturnix japonica) mycoplasma gallisepticum'a karşı oluşan antikorların çeşitli serolojik testlerle saptanması

Abstract: The objectives of this study were to isolate and identify Mycoplasma gallisepticum in quails with clinical and pathological signs of chronic respiratory disease (CRD), and to compare the sensitivity and specificity of commonly used serological tests that are used for the detection of M. gallisepticum antibodies. The study included 20 Japanese quails 10-weeks old with respiratory distress, nasal discharge, mortality and swollen infraorbital sinuses. There was no bacteriological agent isolated. All of the 20 sera samples obtained from the quails were evaluated with AG1D, RSA, HI, and ELISA; 2 (10%), 5 (25%), 10 (50%), and 17 (85%) sera samples were positive, respectively. In conclusion, for detecting M. gallisepticum antibodies in quails the use of ELISA, which is a very sensitive test, together with other conventional tests was beneficial.
