Experiments were carried out to determine how turkeys, ducks, quails, pheasants, and pigeons respond to the same avian influenzavirus (A/turkey/Ontario/7732/66). The factors considered were the antibody response, virus shedding, and overt signs of disease. While no signs of disease were observed among the pheasants and ducks, turkeys had severe disease that terminated fatally. There was a marked antibody response in the pheasants and quail and a poor response in ducks. The ease and regularity of virus recovery varied considerably. The marked differences between species in the response to infection with avian influenzaviruses should be taken into account in the design and interpretation of studies of the role of avian species in the natural history of influenza.
开展了实验以确定火鸡、鸭、鹌鹑、野鸡和鸽子对同一禽流感病毒（A/火鸡/安大略/7732/66）的反应。所考虑的因素包括抗体反应、病毒排出以及明显的疾病迹象。虽然在野鸡和鸭中未观察到疾病迹象，但火鸡出现了严重疾病并最终死亡。野鸡和鹌鹑有明显的抗体反应，而鸭的反应较差。病毒回收的难易程度和规律性差异很大。在设计和解释关于鸟类在流感自然史中的作用的研究时，应考虑到不同物种对禽流感病毒感染反应的显著差异。
