A total of 200 sera samples were collected from Guinea fowl (100) and Pigeons (100) and subjected to Indirect Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA). Out of these, 99 samples (49.5%) were found positive for MG antibodies. The prevalence of MG infection was 60% in Guinea fowl and 39% in Pigeons. In Guinea fowls the males has a slightly high prevalence of 61.7% compared to the females with a prevalence rate of 57.5%. This study revealed that Mycoplasma gallisepticum infection is prevalent and widespread in both Guinea fowls and Pigeons within Sokoto metropolis. In Nigeria and most part of Africa these two species are usually reared in the same households with the local chickens hence may serve as potential source of infection to them resulting in a more severe disease in the chicken population.
