Key result
Exposure to TAstV-2, TRotV, and TReoV, alone or in combination, decreased body weights in turkey poults compared to sham inoculates throughout the 14-day experiment.
Why the study?
Does concomitant infection with TAstV-2, TRotV, and TReoV cause decreased weight gain and enteric disease in turkey poults?
Does concomitant infection with TAstV-2, TRotV, and TReoV cause decreased weight gain and enteric disease in turkey poults?
Concomitant infection with astrovirus, rotavirus, and reovirus in turkey poults leads to decreased weight gain and enteric lesions, though the triple infection was not significantly worse than other viral combinations.

Hypothesis-generating for viral impacts on turkey growth; leaves open translation to commercial flock management or interventions.
Spackman et al. (2010) studied Enteric diseases. TAstV-2, TRotV, and TReoV (single or combined) vs. Sham inoculates was evaluated on Body weight at 2, 4, 7, 10, and 14 days postinoculation. Exposure to TAstV-2, TRotV, and TReoV, alone or in combination, decreased body weights in turkey poults compared to sham inoculates throughout the 14-day experiment.
