Hypothesis-generating for rotavirus timing in poults; leaves open whether it informs outbreak management or vaccine windows.
Does experimental rotavirus infection cause pathological and virological changes in turkey poults?
Experimental rotavirus infection in turkey poults causes peak viral replication and intestinal damage between 2 and 5 days post-infection, leading to impaired nutrient absorption.
Yason et al. (1986) studied this question.
