Key result
Challenge of specific-pathogen-free turkey poults with a small round virus, turkey coronavirus, or both resulted in mortality and clinical responses similar to natural poult enteritis and mortality syndrome.
Why the study?
Does challenge with SRV and/or TCV cause mortality and clinical responses similar to natural PEMS in specific-pathogen-free turkey poults?
Population
Turkey poults affected with poult enteritis and mortality syndrome and specific-pathogen-free turkey poults

SRV and TCV may contribute to PEMS in turkeys; animal data leaves open causality and control strategies in commercial flocks.
Does challenge with SRV and/or TCV cause mortality and clinical responses similar to natural PEMS in specific-pathogen-free turkey poults?
SRV and TCV are identified as potentially important etiologic agents in poult enteritis and mortality syndrome (PEMS).
Yu et al. (2000) studied Poult enteritis and mortality syndrome (PEMS). Small round virus (SRV) and Turkey coronavirus (TCV) was evaluated on Mortality and clinical responses. Challenge of specific-pathogen-free turkey poults with a small round virus, turkey coronavirus, or both resulted in mortality and clinical responses similar to natural poult enteritis and mortality syndrome.
