''M. hyosynovia'' and ''M. hyorhinis'' are species of ''[[Mycoplasmas species - Overview|Mycoplasmas]]''. They produce syndromes similar to [[Haemophilus parasuis|Glasser's disease]] with milder expression, rarely menigitis and arthritis.
''M. hyorhinis'' causes a chronic progressive polyserositis in pigs under 10 weeks old resulting in a fever, laboured breathing, lameness and swollen joints. Serofibrinous pleurisy, pericarditis and [[Peritonitis#In pigs|peritonitis]] occur.
Treatment includes tylosin and lincomycin.
