Avian Metapneumovirus is a respiratory pathogen causing the Turkey Rhinotracheitis (TRT). It is associated to the Swollen Head Syndrome in broilers, but its role as primary respiratory pathogen in this host is nowadays not completely defined. Mycoplasma synpviae is a respiratory bacterial pathogen whose importance increased in the last few years. The greater relevance of aMPV and MS in the poultry sector and the lack of experimental studies regarding their co-infection in broilers led to this infection model for the reproduction of clinical respiratory disease. The preliminary results evidenced by the clinical and laboratory investigations suggests the possible synergic interaction between aMPV and MS.
