  • Title: Experimental infection of specific-pathogen-free turkey poults with single and combined enterovirus and group A rotavirus.
    Author: Hayhow CS, Saif YM.
    Journal: Avian Dis; 1993; 37(2):546-57. PubMed ID: 8395805.
    Abstract:
    This study was designed to investigate the effects of orally administered single and combined enterovirus and group A rotavirus in specific-pathogen-free poults of different ages. Clinical signs, body-weight gain, D-xylose absorption, and morphometric analysis revealed that poults given the combined enterovirus/rotavirus inoculum were more severely affected than poults that received either inoculum alone. The poults developed a malabsorption syndrome early in the disease process, but by day 8 postinoculation poults had regained normal intestinal absorptive capacity. Poults inoculated with enterovirus alone at 2 and 3 weeks of age were more severely affected, as shown by some of the parameters measured, than those inoculated at 3 days of age.
