      Mycoplasma infections.

AB  - The indirect immunoperoxidase assay (IIPA) was used to examine chicken sera, egg 
      yolks, respiratory secretions and synovial fluids for antibodies to M. 
      gallisepticum and M. synoviae. IIPA was more sensitive than rapid serum 
      agglutination (RSA) and haemagglutination inhibition (HI) for detecting serum 
      antibodies in chickens infected with M. gallisepticum. It was also more sensitive 
      than culture. In chickens infected with M. synoviae there was very good 
      correlation between IIPA and RSA and between IIPA and HI, but culture was a more 
      sensitive means of detecting infection than any of these tests. IIPA of yolk or 
      respiratory secretions appeared to be a suitable means of detecting M. 
      gallisepticum infection but, again, culture was more sensitive for M. synoviae 
      detection. IIPA detected antibodies in the synovial fluid of a few infected 
      chickens but the technique needs further evaluation. It was not successful in 
      detecting antibodies to certain of the nonpathogenic avian mycoplasmas.
