Key result
Parvovirus was detected in 51.25% of samples from light turkey syndrome flocks and 57.14% of samples from non-LTS flocks, indicating circulation in both groups.
Population
80 fecal pools from four light turkey syndrome flocks, 35 fecal pools from non-LTS flocks, and 116 fecal and…

Widespread parvovirus detection supports surveillance in Minnesota turkey flocks; leaves open recombinant strain pathogenicity and transmission.
Cross-Sectional (n=231)
Absolute Event Rate: 51.25% vs 57.14%
Turkey parvoviruses are circulating in both LTS and non-LTS turkey flocks in Minnesota, including a divergent strain that suggests circulation of a recombinant strain.
Sharafeldin et al. (2016) conducted a cross-sectional in Light turkey syndrome (n=231). Light turkey syndrome (LTS) flock status vs. Non-LTS flock status was evaluated on Presence of parvovirus. Parvovirus was detected in 51.25% of samples from light turkey syndrome flocks and 57.14% of samples from non-LTS flocks, indicating circulation in both groups.
