Abstract:
Forty-nine sick turkeys (from 31 flocks), 2- to 6-week-old, were examined. They had enteritic and respiratory signs. Direct electron microscopy, inoculation of embryonated eggs by the yolk sac route and inoculation of young SPF turkeys with materials from affected turkeys showed in several cases presence of picornalike virus. Two strains of virus were isolated.
