Histopathological examination were also carried out and the lesions were found on 30 (28.8 percent) samples for Bordetella sp., 6 (5.8 percent) samples for Mycoplasma sp., 16 (15.4 percent) samples for Mycoplasma sp. in combination with Bordetella sp., 25 (24.0 percent) samples for Mycoplasma sp. in combination with Pasteurella sp. and 27 (26.0 percent) samples were judged to be normal.
