Honkavuori et al. (2011) conducted an observational in Turkey viral hepatitis. Turkey hepatitis virus (THV) vs. Healthy turkey poults was evaluated on Detection of viral RNA and protein in diseased tissues. Molecular, anatomic, and immunologic evidence identified a novel picornavirus, tentatively named turkey hepatitis virus, as the likely cause of turkey viral hepatitis.
