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.

Mycoplasma synoviae (MS), an important avian pathogen, can cause chronic respiratory disease, eggshell apex abnormalities, infectious synovitis, and arthritis in avian species, leading serious economic losses in the global poultry industry. To date, studies have shown significant different transcript profiles using various chicken cells after MS infection. However, in vitro cell models cannot fully represent the complex in vivo regulations after adventitious infection.

Mycoplasma synoviae (M. synoviae) has been identified worldwide to cause respiratory diseases, infectious synovitis, airsacculitis, and eggshell apex abnormalities (EAA) in commercial chickens, which results in substantial economic losses to the poultry industry. Therefore, in this study, 258 flocks were investigated between 2017 and 2019 for M.

(MS) is an avian pathogen that causes respiratory disease, infectious synovitis, and eggshell apex abnormalities in chickens. Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD)-independent MS was first reported in 1975. Despite the atypical traits of NAD-independent MS, its independence from NAD has not been studied.

Gastropods shell shape has been proposed as a good indicator of environmental changes while geometric morphometric (GM) is a powerful tool to detect such changes. Shell shape pattern in adults of the marine gastropod Buccinanops deformis was proved to be correlated with imposex incidence and maritime traffic in populations of Patagonia. We explore through GM the shell shape variation of B.

Mycoplasma synoviae infection occurs worldwide, leading to considerable economic losses in the chicken and turkey industry due to infectious synovitis, respiratory diseases and eggshell apex abnormalities. Control programs against M. synoviae infection are based on eradication, vaccination and medication with antimicrobial agents.
