Poult enteritis and mortality syndrome (PEMS) is one of the most significant problem affecting turkeys and continues to cause severe economic losses worldwide. Although the specific causes of PEMS remains unknown, this syndrome might involve an interaction between several causative agents such as enteropathogenic viruses (coronaviruses, rotavirus, astroviruses and adenoviruses) and bacteria and protozoa. Non-infectious causes such as feed and management are also interconnected factors. However, it is difficult to determine the specific cause of enteric disorders under field conditions. Additionally, similarities of clinical signs and lesions hamper the accurate diagnosis. The purpose of the present review is to discuss in detail the main viral possible causative agents of PEMS and challenges in diagnosis and control.
家禽肠炎和死亡综合征（PEMS）是影响火鸡的最严重问题之一，并且在全球范围内持续造成严重的经济损失。尽管PEMS的具体病因尚不清楚，但该综合征可能涉及几种病原体之间的相互作用，如肠道致病性病毒（冠状病毒、轮状病毒、星状病毒和腺病毒）以及细菌和原生动物。诸如饲料和管理等非传染性原因也是相互关联的因素。然而，在田间条件下很难确定肠道疾病的具体病因。此外，临床症状和病变的相似性妨碍了准确诊断。本综述的目的是详细讨论PEMS主要的可能致病病毒以及诊断和控制方面的挑战。
