Avian Mycoplasmosis PCR Test (MG/MS Detection)

The cost listed here is PER sample to be tested. Please purchase the number of tests equivalent to the number of birds you would like to have tested. 
 

Species supported: Chickens, turkeys, pigeons, game birds, parrots, and finches
Ratites are also affected- though instances are rare.
 

This DNA test detects Mycoplasma gallisepticum (MG) and Mycoplasma synoviae (MS) — two of the most common and contagious respiratory pathogens in birds. Both organisms can spread rapidly through flocks and remain latent in carriers, making early detection essential for biosecurity.
 

What it detects:

  • Active infection with MG (eye swelling, nasal discharge, respiratory signs)

  • Active or subclinical MS infection (lameness, synovitis, joint swelling)

  • Ideal for both symptomatic birds and flock screening
     

Sample Types Accepted:

  • Dried blood spots

  • Dried oral or choanal swabs

  • Fresh tracheal or cloacal swabs (overnight shipping recommended)


 High-sensitivity multiplex PCR targeting MG and MS in a single test
 Results within 48 busness hours of sample arrival
 

Recommended for:

  • Birds with respiratory signs, joint swelling, or decreased egg production

  • New flock introductions, rescue birds, or birds returning from shows

  • Regular screening in breeding and aviary programs


This kit includes everything you need to submit a dried blood sample to us for testing.  If you would prefer to send fresh cloacal or choanal swabs,  you may opt to add on the collection kit and overnight shipping option HERE.
