Suspected Reticuloendotheliosis in Turkeys with Cutaneous Lesions Reminiscent of Fowl Pox

J Hanson, J Howell
PMCID: PMC1789564  PMID: 223758

Abstract

Twelve turkeys from a flock of 2,500 had cutaneous lesions somewhat resembling fowl pox. Lymphoid-like tumors were evident in livers and spleens. Closer examination of cutaneous lesions, and histopathological examinations indicated skin lesions were also infiltrative and not unlike reticuloendotheliosis. Electron micrographs revealed the presence of C-type virus particles.
