Turkey meningo-encephalitis is a neuroparalytic disease of turkeys first described and shown to be caused by a flavivirus in Israel. During 1978 a similar disease was observed in South Africa. In addition to the lesions described in Israel, myocarditis, regression of the ovary and egg peritonitis were constant findings. The similarity in host range, symptoms and pathological changes produced by the virus isolated locally and in Israel and the serological cross-reaction between the 2 virus isolates indicate that they are identical.
火鸡脑膜脑炎是火鸡的一种神经麻痹性疾病，最初在以色列被描述并被证明是由一种黄病毒引起的。1978年在南非观察到一种类似的疾病。除了以色列所描述的病变外，心肌炎、卵巢退化和卵性腹膜炎也是常见的发现。本地分离的病毒与以色列分离的病毒在宿主范围、症状和病理变化方面的相似性以及两种病毒分离株之间的血清学交叉反应表明它们是相同的。
