Studies of tissues from 25 normal turkey flocks and of 15 selected turkey lymphoid tumors revealed no Marek's disease or lymphoid leukosis viruses, although reticuloendotheliosis viruses (REV) were isolated from 3 flocks (2 with a history of neoplastic disease). The REV isolates were culturally and antigenically similar to the prototype REV strain T but were of low pathogenicity. Attempts failed to transmit 6 lymphoid tumors of diverse origin by inoculation into 2 strains of recipient turkeys. These data support an etiological role for REV in some though not all forms of turkey neoplastic disease.
对25个正常火鸡群的组织以及15个选定的火鸡淋巴肿瘤进行的研究表明，未发现马立克氏病或淋巴白血病病毒，不过从3个鸡群（其中2个有肿瘤病史）中分离出了网状内皮组织增殖症病毒（REV）。分离出的REV在培养和抗原方面与REV原型毒株T相似，但致病性较低。通过接种到2株受体火鸡中，未能成功传播6种不同来源的淋巴肿瘤。这些数据支持REV在某些（但并非所有）形式的火鸡肿瘤疾病中起病因作用。
