title: Picorna-like viruses of young turkeys: pathogenesis of a disease of poults caused by a picorna-like virus.
abstract: A strain of picorna-like virus cultivated in the yolk sac membranes of inoculated eggs was inoculated into 6-day-old turkeys. Clinical signs and mortality were observed between two and three weeks. Virus was seen in the faeces. The post-mortem and histological changes in the organs of infected birds were highly suggestive of a viral aetiology. The virus was reisolated from organs of sick and dead poults by inoculating SPF embryonated eggs.
