对选定的商业（肉）火鸡群的机会性观察和尸检显示，骨骼病变与软骨营养不良一致，其特征是腿部和脊椎畸形，在两个主要品种和各种繁殖鸡群的火鸡中发生率非常低。培养支原体生物体，并通过免疫荧光和聚合酶链反应从一些椎骨病变而非腿部关节中鉴定为爱荷华州支原体。这是对与爱荷华州分枝杆菌相关的脊椎软骨营养不良的肉眼和微观病变的首次详细描述，现在在对患有这些病变的火鸡进行鉴别诊断时应考虑到这一点。
Opportunistic observations of and necropsies from selected commercial (meat) turkey flocks revealed skeletal lesions consistent with chondrodystrophy, characterized by leg and vertebral deformities, occurring at very low incidences in turkeys from two primary breeds and various multiplier breeder flocks. Mycoplasma organisms were cultured and identified as Mycoplasma iowae by immunofluorescence and polymerase chain reaction from some of the vertebral lesions but not from leg joints. This is the first detailed description of the gross and microscopic lesions of vertebral chondrodystrophy associated with M. iowae, which should now be considered in the differential diagnosis of turkeys with these lesions.
