TI  - Eggshell apex abnormalities associated with Mycoplasma synoviae infection in 
      layers.
PG  - 579-82
AB  - Eggs exhibiting eggshell apex abnormalities (EAA) were evaluated for changes in 
      shell characteristics such as strength, thickness, and ultrastructure. Mycoplasma 
      synoviae (MS) infection was confirmed by serological assay along with isolation 
      of MS from the trachea and oviduct. Changes in eggshell quality were shown to be 
      statistically significant (p < 0.01). We also identified ultrastructural changes 
      in the mammillary knob layer by Scanning Electron Microscopy. While eggs may seem 
      to be structurally sound, ultrastructural evaluation showed that affected eggs do 
      not regain their former quality. In our knowledge, this is the first report 
      describing the occurrence of EAA in Korea.
