Population

Turkey enterovirus-like virus isolated in 1988 from droppings of enteritis-affected turkeys in North Carolina

Comparison

Antigenic and genomic analyses vs Turkey astrovirus 2 (TAstV2)

Design

Preclinical

Authors

Discussion

Supports reclassification of 1988 TELV as TAstV2; leaves open current prevalence and impact in commercial flocks.

Population

Turkey enterovirus-like virus (TELV) isolated in 1988 from droppings of enteritis-affected turkeys in North Carolina

Intervention

Antigenic and genomic analyses (cross-immunofluorescence, RT-PCR, sequence analyses)

Comparator

Turkey astrovirus 2 (TAstV2)

Outcome

Genomic and antigenic similarity between TELV and TAstV2

The study definitively identifies the 1988 North Carolina isolate of turkey enterovirus-like virus as turkey astrovirus 2.

Guy et al. (2004) studied this question.
