Phylum Firmicutes
Class Mollicutes
Order Mycoplasmatales
Family Mycoplasmataceae
Genus Mycoplasma

M. hyosynovia and M. hyorhinis are species of Mycoplasmas. They produce syndromes similar to 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 occur. Treatment includes tylosin and lincomycin.
