Design

Preclinical

Authors

Discussion

High detection rates indicate widespread parvovirus in US poultry; leaves open its pathogenic role and need for further veterinary studies.

Population

138 field enteric samples from poultry flocks (chickens from 54 farms, turkeys from 29 farms) in the United States

Intervention

Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assay with primers targeting conserved genome sequences of parvovirus nonstructural (NS) genes

Outcome

Detection of parvovirus presence

A newly developed PCR assay demonstrates that parvoviruses are widely distributed in commercial poultry flocks in the United States.

Zsak et al. (2009) studied this question.
