===Enzootic pneumonia of pigs===
===[[Respiratory Bacterial Infections - Pathology#Enzootic pneumonia of pigs|Enzootic pneumonia of pigs]]===
*Caused by ''M. hyopneumonia''
*[[Respiratory Bacterial Infections - Pathology#Enzootic pneumonia of pigs|Enzootic pneumonia of pigs]] caused by ''M. hyopneumonia''
*Occur in unfavourable conditions with poor ventilation, overcrowding and temperature fluctuations
*Occur in unfavourable conditions with poor ventilation, overcrowding and temperature fluctuations
*
*Stunted growth rates, coughing and occasionally respiratory distress
*Consolidation in apical and cardiac lung lobes
*Immunofluorescence of lung tissue and complement fixation test or ELISA used for identification
*Treatment includes in-feed antibiotics such as tylosin, lincomycin and tiamulin
*Absent in specific-pathogen-free herds
===''M. hyorhinis'' and ''M. hyosynoviae'' of pigs===
*Cause [[Peritoneal Cavity Inflammatory - Pathology#In sheep|peritonitis in sheep]] and [[Peritoneal Cavity Inflammatory - Pathology#In goats|peritonitis in goats]] and [[Peritoneal Cavity Inflammatory - Pathology#In pigs|peritonitis in pigs]]
*''M. hyosynovia'' and ''M. hyorhinis'' produce syndromes similar to [[Haemophilus species|Glasser's disease]] with milder expression, rarely menigitis and [[Joints Inflammatory - Pathology#In Pigs|arthritis]]
*''M. hyorhinis causes a chronic progressive polyserositis in pigs under 10 weeks old
*A fever, laboured breathing, lameness and swollen joints occur
*Serofibrinous pleurisy, pericarditis and [[Peritoneal Cavity Inflammatory - Pathology#In pigs|peritonitis]] occur
*Treatment includes tylosin and lincomycin
*''M. hyorhinis'' causes a polyarthritis in pigs of 10-30 weeks old, leading to transient lameness
===Mycoplasmas of poultry===
*''M. gallisepticum''
**Causes chronic repsiratory disease in chickens and infectious sinusitis in turkeys
**Transmission via the egg and aerosol
**Reduced egg production
**Identification by serum plate agglutination test, haemagglutination inhibition and ELISA
**Controlled in specific-pathogen-free flocks
**Modified live vaccines and bacterins available
*''M. meleagridis''
**Hatching problems; airsacculitis in young poults; joint and bone deformities in growers
**Transmitted mainly via eggs and semen
**Serum plate agglutination test for identification
**In-water tylosin for first 10 days of life
**Eggs an be dipped in tylosin
*''M synoviae''
**Causes infectious synovitis in chickens and turkeys
**Transmitted by aerosol
**Synovitis, arthritis, respiratory disease
**Confirmation by isolation or serology
**In-feed tetracycline
**Eradication through specific-pathogen-free flocks
