Abstract
ONE type of inclusion was found in acinar cell nuclei and the other in nuclei of beta islet cells. The latter was a multiple homogeneous type found in 23 of the 60 turkeys and identical with beta islet inclusions reported for chickens (Lucas, 1947). The former closely resembles B-virus and herpetic inclusions as described by Sabin and Wright (1934), Rector and Rector (1933), and Lucas and Riser (1945). This type of granular inclusion is strongly suggestive of virus action (Cowdry, 1934; Cowdry, Lucas and Fox, 1935). A perusal of the literature on turkey diseases has failed thus far to reveal any papers in which this type of pathology is described. Thus, this may represent a new virus or it may be one which is well known but in which the associated pancreas pathology has been overlooked.The turkey pancreases were those used in a quantitative study on the ectopic lymphoid .
