Abstract
Day-old specific-antibody-negative turkey poults were inoculated orally with cloned turkey reovirus isolate 81-68. Virus reisolations from 11 different tissues revealed widespread distribution at 3, 5, and 7 days postinoculation (PI). Virus was isolated from the intestines until 21 days PI. Virus was isolated from tendons until day 7 PI and again at day 28 PI. Reovirus serum-neutralization antibodies appeared as early as 7 days PI. All inoculated birds showed positive VN serum titers (greater than or equal to 1:20) by day 21 PI. No reovirus was isolated from control poults, and they remained antibody-negative during the entire experiment.
