SUMMARY The North Carolina turkey enteric virus was further characterized on the basis of certain physical and chemical properties. Intracytoplasmic staining of infected turkey kidney cells was demonstrated by fluorescein-labeled antiserum. May-GrunwaldGiemsa staining revealed very large syncytia. An intense greenish color was observed in syncytia stained with acridine orange. The virus was relatively heat-stable and pH-stable, and plaques of slightly increased size were produced in the presence of magnesium chloride. The virus did not hemagglutinate when a number of avian and mammalian red blood cells were employed. The growth curve was typical of reoviruses. Pathogenicity for 13-day-old embryonated turkey eggs was demonstrated.
