Key result
RT-PCR detected enteric viruses in a larger number of poult enteritis syndrome cases than electron microscopy, identifying rotavirus in 93%, TAstV-2 in 84%, and reovirus in 40% of cases.

RT-PCR improves enteric virus detection in poult enteritis; leaves open whether it alters turkey flock management or outcomes.
Cross-Sectional (n=43)
Absolute Event Rate: 93% vs 58.1%
RT-PCR is more sensitive than electron microscopy for detecting multiple concurrent enteric viruses in turkeys with poult enteritis syndrome.
Jindal et al. (2010) conducted a cross-sectional in Poult enteritis syndrome (PES) (n=43). Reverse transcription-PCR (RT-PCR) vs. Electron microscopy (EM) was evaluated on Detection of rotavirus. RT-PCR detected enteric viruses in a larger number of poult enteritis syndrome cases than electron microscopy, identifying rotavirus in 93%, TAstV-2 in 84%, and reovirus in 40% of cases.
