Key result
Electron microscopy of over 1,800 suspected poult enteritis cases identified rotavirus-like and small round viruses as the most common agents, with no evidence of coronaviruses.

Supports rotavirus-focused diagnostics in poult enteritis; hypothesis-generating for viral etiology and leaves open coronavirus role in other settings.
Observational (n=1,800)
Rotavirus-like and small round viruses are the most common viral agents identified by electron microscopy in turkeys with poult enteritis in California between 1993 and 2003.
Woolcock et al. (2008) conducted an observational in Poult enteritis in turkeys (n=1,800). Viral infection was evaluated on Identification of viruses by negative stain electron microscopy. Electron microscopy of over 1,800 suspected poult enteritis cases identified rotavirus-like and small round viruses as the most common agents, with no evidence of coronaviruses.
