Abstract
SUMMARY The North Carolina turkey enteric virus was further characterized on the basis of certain physical and chemical properties. Intracytoplasmic staining of infected turkey kidney cells was demonstrated by fluorescein-labeled antiserum. May-GrunwaldGiemsa staining revealed very large syncytia. An intense greenish color was observed in syncytia stained with acridine orange. The virus was relatively heat-stable and pH-stable, and plaques of slightly increased size were produced in the presence of magnesium chloride. The virus did not hemagglutinate when a number of avian and mammalian red blood cells were employed. The growth curve was typical of reoviruses. Pathogenicity for 13-day-old embryonated turkey eggs was demonstrated.
