Abstract

Natural infections of turkeys with avian paramyxovirus type 3 (PMV-3) result in drops in egg production, respiratory problems, poor egg quality, virus excretion via the respiratory tract and the development of strong antibody responses. The viruses have been discovered in Canada, the USA, UK, France and Ireland. Field viruses were isolated using chicken embryos and identified using haemagglutination-inhibition tests, complement fixation tests, virus-neutralization tests and fluorescent antibody tests. The exact origin and mode of transmission of the virus remain to be elucidated. The epizootiological factors include geographical distribution, time space, age of turkeys at infection and route of natural exposure. The high mortality of young chicks following experimental infections with an English strain of the virus implies that turkey PMV-3 infections could also be a threat to the chicken industry.
