Viral Recombination

24.4K
Cells are sometimes infected by more than one virus at once. When two viruses disassemble to expose their genomes for replication in the same cell, similar regions of their genomes can pair together and exchange sequences in a process called recombination. Alternatively, viruses with segmented genomes can swap segments in a process called reassortment.

Summary

A new form of turkey enteritis causes severe diarrhea and poor growth in flocks. High viral loads of turkey picobirnavirus were detected in affected birds, suggesting it may be the cause.

Area of Science:

  • Veterinary Pathology
  • Avian Virology
  • Poultry Disease Diagnostics

Background:

  • Since 2014, distinct cases of turkey enteritis have been observed, differing from established poult enteritis and light turkey syndromes.
  • Affected birds exhibit severe diarrhea, poor flock uniformity, reduced feed conversion, and market weights, with high morbidity rates.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the etiology of a novel clinical presentation of turkey enteritis.
  • To identify potential causative agents using next-generation sequencing.

Main Methods:

  • Clinical and necropsy examinations of affected turkey flocks.
  • Histopathological analysis of intestinal tissues.
  • Next-generation sequencing (Illumina Miseq) of fecal samples to identify viral agents.
  • Quantitative analysis of viral load in healthy and affected birds.

Main Results:

  • Next-generation sequencing identified viral sequences from Astroviridae, Reoviridae, Picornaviridae, Picobirnaviridae, and Adenoviridae families.
  • Significantly higher viral loads were found in feces from affected birds compared to healthy controls.
  • Turkey picobirnavirus was exclusively detected in affected birds, with 66.7% of positive pools.

Conclusions:

  • A high viral load of turkey picobirnavirus, potentially in conjunction with novel picornaviruses, is indicated as a likely cause of this emerging turkey enteritis.
  • This finding contributes to understanding and diagnosing new avian disease outbreaks.
