Blackhead (histomoniasis, enterohepatitis) was diagnosed as the cause of death for three wild turkeys (Meleagris gallopavo silvestris) found in widely separated areas in Mississippi. The turkeys came from areas with high turkey population densities and supplemental feeding programs. Finding three sick and/or dead wild turkeys in a year's period suggests that the disease is more prevalent than generally believed. Recommendations for management programs are presented.
黑头病（组织滴虫病、肝肠炎）被诊断为在密西西比州广泛分布的不同区域发现的三只野生火鸡（野火鸡亚种）的死因。这些火鸡来自火鸡种群密度高且有补充饲喂计划的地区。在一年时间里发现三只患病和/或死亡的野生火鸡表明，这种疾病比普遍认为的更为普遍。文中还提出了管理计划的建议。
