ABSTRACT
Commercial turkeys from four Iowa flocks, two Illinois flocks, and three California flocks were submitted to state diagnostic laboratories because of a variety of health problems. The turkeys ranged in age from 5 to 12 weeks, included both hens and toms, and were owned by five different companies. Some flocks had previously been immunized with live hemorrhagic enteritis vaccine, and other flocks were unvaccinated. In all accessions, basophilic intranuclear inclusion bodies were observed in renal tubular epithelium by light microscopy. Transmission electron microscopy showed that the inclusions consisted of densely packed virus particles. The virions were identified as adenoviruses based upon the icosahedral morphology and average particle diameters of 72 nm. Avidin-biotin immunoperoxidase staining of formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded kidneys was used to identify this adenovirus as hemorrhagic enteritis virus.
