Molecular methods used in the diagnosis of Mycoplasma synoviae infection in poultry

摘要

Diagnostics of Mycoplasma synoviae (MS) is generally based on serological, culturing and molecular methods. Rapid diagnosis and identification of infections is very important in the poultry industry. The use of PCR or real-time PCR makes it possible to shorten the time for obtaining results from research and the effective detection of genetic material of MS. There are many variations of the PCR method, one of them is the LAMP method, which is rapid, very sensitive and does not require specialist equipment. This article reviews the molecular methods used for the diagnosis of Mycoplasma synoviae infection in poultry.
