A syndrome resulting in increased early deaths, runting and stunting in turkeys is described in 14 flocks at six sites in Ireland. Pathological lesions included bursal and thymic atrophy and mild degenerative changes in the pancreas of the affected poults. Entero-like virus, rotavirus, reovirus and adenovirus were detected in the affected poults and there was strong circumstantial evidence of lateral transmission of an infectious agent. Depopulation and thorough disinfection of affected houses appeared to eliminate the problem.
在爱尔兰六个地点的14个火鸡群中，描述了一种导致火鸡早期死亡增加、发育不良和生长迟缓的综合征。病理损伤包括法氏囊和胸腺萎缩，以及受感染雏火鸡胰腺的轻度退行性变化。在受感染的雏火鸡中检测到类肠道病毒、轮状病毒、呼肠孤病毒和腺病毒，并且有强有力的间接证据表明存在一种传染因子的横向传播。对受感染鸡舍进行扑杀和彻底消毒似乎消除了这个问题。
