Reovirus strains induce tenosynovitis in chicks; leaves open field relevance and vaccine implications in poultry.
Various avian reovirus strains, including those from non-chicken sources, are capable of inducing tenosynovitis in chicks, with virulence varying by strain and dose.
Jones et al. (1984) studied Avian reovirus infection. Avian reoviruses (13 strains) was evaluated on Pathogenicity with particular respect to tenosynovitis. Inoculation of 1-day-old specific pathogen-free chicks with 13 avian reovirus strains caused tenosynovitis in all cases, with varying severity and no signs of stunting or malabsorption syndromes.
