Indicates enteric disease without villus atrophy in turkeys; hypothesis-generating for pathogenesis and requires validation before any management implications.
The 18-to-24-nm turkey-origin enteric virus produces an enteric disease syndrome in turkey poults, with acute clinical manifestations not resulting from intestinal villus atrophy.
Swayne et al. (1990) studied Enteric Disease. Small round turkey-origin enteric virus vs. Control poults was evaluated on Body weight gains and clinical/morphological changes. Inoculation with a small round turkey-origin enteric virus produced an enteric disease syndrome with significantly lower body weight gains and clinical signs without acute intestinal villus atrophy.
