Abstract: Mycoplasma synoviae infection is an infectious disease caused by Mycoplasma synoviae,which mainly leads infectious synovitis,eggshell apex abnormality,airsacculitis and mild upper respiratory tract diseases in chickens.Mycoplasma synoviae infection is widespread in poultry industry,mainly manifested as chronic infection and recessive infection,and often co-induced mixed infection with other respiratory pathogens,causing huge economic losses to domestic poultry industry.Mycoplasma synoviae involves a variety of intricate pathogenic mechanisms,including the adhesion to host cells,competition for nutrients,and the secretion of metabolites.Currently,a variety of detection methods,including pathogen isolation and culture,molecular biology techniques,and serological testing,are available for the laboratory diagnosis of Mycoplasma synoviae.However,only a limited number of vaccines are available in China for the prevention of Mycoplasma synoviae infection.When Mycoplasma synoviae infection occurs in poultry,it is mainly treated with antibacterial drugs.The author summarized the research progress on the epidemiology,clinical symptoms,pathogenic mechanism,diagnostic methods and prevention measures of Mycoplasma synoviae infection in recent years,which provided new insights for the prevention and control of Mycoplasma synoviae infection.

Key words: Mycoplasma synoviae; epidemiology; pathogenic mechanism; diagnosis; prevention and control
