Abstract
Wild turkeys (Meleagris gallopavo, n = 1164) were tested for Mycoplasm a gallisepticum, Mycoplasma meleagridis, Mycoplasma synoviae, and Salm onella pullorum from 1990 to 1997. Although 3.3% of the turkeys were s uspect for one or more diseases, only 0.9% were serologically positive for M. gallisepticum. These 11 positives were all from one county in south-central Kansas.
