Abstract
A viral enteric disease of young turkeys characterized by stunting of affected birds, diarrhea and increased mortality is described. Eosinophilic intranuclear inclusion bodies were found in the absorptive epithelial cells of the ileum. EM of formalin-fixed tissue revealed that the intestinal inclusions contained numerous loosely packed 15-20 nm hexagonal particles. The size, shape and intranuclear location have been used to tentatively identify these particles as parvoviruses.This publication has 2 references indexed in Scilit:
