{"title":"Avian reovirus infection in turkeys with neurological disease in Alberta.","authors":"Ashish Gupta, Hayley Bowling, Teryn Girard, Erin Zachar, Davor Ojkic","doi":"","DOIUrl":"","url":null,"abstract":"<p><p>Avian reoviruses (ARVs) are ubiquitous and play a role in diseases affecting various organs in chickens and turkeys. In recent years, tenosynovitis and lameness emerged as the most frequently reported clinical conditions. In this report, we describe a case of neurological disease associated with ARV infection in 4-week-old turkeys in Alberta. A flock of 7650 commercial turkey toms exhibited neurological signs such as torticollis and ataxia that affected ~3 to 4% of birds in the flock. Histologic examination of brain samples collected at 6 wk revealed nonsuppurative encephalitis. A pooled brain sample was positive for ARV by PCR. By 9 wk of age, birds in the flock started developing lameness with no apparent neurological involvement, and tendon samples were positive by PCR. Partial sigma C gene amino acid sequences were obtained for the brain and tendon samples and were 91.4% identical. The brain and tendon samples showed 95.5% and 97.7% amino acid identities to ARVs from Ontario (ARV/Turkey/ON/17-049928) and Pennsylvania (ARV/Turkey/PA/01769-14), respectively. Similar cases are currently being investigated in western Canada. Key clinical message: Avian reoviruses should be considered one of the differential diagnoses in cases of neurological signs in commercial birds.</p>","PeriodicalId":9429,"journal":{"name":"Canadian Veterinary Journal-revue Veterinaire Canadienne","volume":"65 12","pages":"1241-1247"},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2024-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11619001/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142799496","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
