Abstract:Wild turkeys (Meleagris gallopavo) were in serious trouble, especially in the eastern part of the country during the 1940s and 1950s. Years of overharvest, habitat degradation and a total disregard by the public were responsible for the complete loss of wild turkeys in 19 states. Faced with the problem of bringing back the wild turkey, wildlife managers resorted to using game‐farm‐reared turkeys. All of the states attempting to restore turkey populations using game‐farm turkeys reported their efforts failed, except for Michigan. Perfecting the technique of cannon‐netting of native wild turkeys was responsible for what has proved to be a success story unequalled in the annals of wildlife restoration. Wild turkeys are firmly established throughout the U.S. and in Ontario, Canada. The wild turkey's ability in adapting to areas previously thought unsuitable was a complete surprise and contributed to the successful restoration of wild turkey populations during the last half of the 20th century.

Abstract:
According to the literature poultry occupies a leading position in the structure of the meat market. The leader in poultry farming is the production of broiler meat both in the world and in Ukraine. However, in recent years the interest in growing turkeys and turkey meat production increased sharply, as a lucrative business and an alternative to pork and beef. It is estimated that in the world turkey's meat consumption has increased from 1,5 million tones to 5,5 million tones in recent years Israel is the world leader in annual consumption of turkey meat (13.1 kg per head), and USA is the world leader in production of turkey meat (42% of total production). In 2017 turkey meat production in the world amounted to 6.4 million tones, only 34 thousand tones were produced inUkraine of them.The main characteristics of the two turkey breeds are given. They are the bronze-breasted and white-breasted breeds. Almost all modern turkey industrial crosses have come from them. All high-productive turkey crosses are divided into types depending on the weight: light, medium, medium heavy, heavy. Each has its own purpose for use. As a result of the analysis of the literature data, the production indicators for modern turkey crosses and norms of the content of nutrients and biologically active substances in feeds for turkeys of heavy and medium types were generalized. We developed turkey feeding programs based on years of experience, scientific achievements in the industry and fruitful collaboration with feed manufacturers. There are several periods during the life of the turkeys: the period of rearing, pre-laying (rearing of the repair young turkeys) and productive. It is established that young turkeys of various purposes are fed the same rations forup to 17 weeks. According to the developed turkey feeding program the period of rearing consists of 3 phases, during which use starter (1 - 4 weeks for heavy type turkeys and 1 - 8 weeks for medium type turkeys), grower (5 - 13 weeks for heavy type turkeys and 9 - 13 weeks for medium type turkeys) and finisher (14-17 weeks) feed. The pre-laying diet is fed from 18 to 30 weeks to repair young turkeys, and productive diet is fed from 31 weeks.

Abstract:
Selection for increased muscle mass in domestic turkeys has resulted in muscles twice the size of those found in wild turkeys. This study characterizes muscle structural changes as well as functional differences in muscle performance associated with selection for increased muscle mass. We compared peak isometric force production, whole muscle and individual fiber cross-sectional area (CSA), connective tissue collagen concentration and structure of the lateral gastrocnemius (LG) muscle in wild and adult domestic turkeys. We also explored changes with age between juvenile and adult domestic turkeys. We found that the domestic turkey’s LG muscle can produce the same force per cross-sectional area as a wild turkey; however, due to scaling, domestic adults produce less force per unit body mass. Domestic turkey muscle fibers were slightly smaller in CSA (3802 ± 2223 μm2) than those of the wild turkey (4014 ± 1831 μm2, p = 0.013), indicating that the absolutely larger domestic turkey muscles are a result of an increased number of smaller fibers. Collagen concentration in domestic turkey muscle (4.19 ± 1.58 μg hydroxyproline/mg muscle) was significantly lower than in the wild turkeys (6.23 ± 0.63 μg/mg, p = 0.0275), with visible differences in endomysium texture, observed via scanning electron microscopy. Selection for increased muscle mass has altered the structure of the LG muscle; however, scaling likely contributes more to hind limb functional differences observed in the domestic turkey.

Abstract:A questionnaire to determine the extent of the problem of releases of pen‐reared “wild” turkeys (Meleagris gallopavo) by the public was mailed to state wild turkey project leaders in 49 states in 1992‐93. Responses were received from all 49. Results showed that 92% of wild turkey project leaders believed that releases of pen‐reared turkeys by the public were a problem, 94% indicated that releases of pen‐reared turkeys are a potential problem, 58% thought that shipments of pen‐reared turkeys from out‐of‐state suppliers were part of the problem, and 65% believed that wild turkeys interbreeding with free‐ranging domestic turkeys was a problem. Seventy‐six percent of wildlife agencies allowed, in some form, possession of wild turkeys or release of pen‐reared turkeys. Of the 19 states without possession laws, respondents believed that their state legislatures would be cooperative in enacting legislation banning the importation or possession of pen‐reared “wild” turkeys. Public education and laws prohibiting the possession of wild turkeys or pen‐reared “wild” turkeys in all states are suggested for reducing the threat of disease or gene‐pool contamination of wild turkeys by pen‐reared “wild” turkeys.

Abstract:
SummaryThe presence and role of indigenous turkeys in Oaxaca and Quintana Roo, Mexico, were investigated by means of on-site assessment and an orally administered questionnaire. Questions included breed characteristics, uses, management conditions, advantages and limitations of the breed. An indigenous breed of turkey in Oaxaca and Quintana Roo was described. A strong interest in the raising and commerce of turkeys in Oaxaca was noted, however in Quintana Roo substantial reductions in numbers of turkeys have occurred over the last two decades. Mortalities of turkey poults ranging from 50–100% due to a disease with symptoms compatible with Histomonas meleagridis infection were reported. This appears to be the most significant limiting factor to raising turkeys in a back-yard type of system in Oaxaca and Quintana Roo. Raising turkeys separately from chickens is probably the most effective strategy for decreasing indigenous turkey poult mortality of this type.

Abstract:Wild turkey (Meleagris gallopavo) sightings by hunters of antlerless deer provide an effective indicator of annual fluctuations in wild turkey abundance in Minnesota. During fall 1987 and 1988, we surveyed a random sample of antlerless‐deer hunters within Minnesota's wild turkey range. Differences in mean number of turkeys seen per day were used to detect population changes between geographical areas within a year and between years within an area. Estimates of wild turkey population densities by wildlife personnel in fall 1987 were correlated with mean number of turkeys seen per hunter per day (r = 0.94, n = 28, P = 0.0001) and with percentage of hunters seeing turkeys (r = 0.93, n = 28, P = 0.0001). A survey of antlerless‐deer hunters can give management personnel the ability to detect 10‐15% changes in turkeys seen per hunter per day at a relatively low cost.

Abstract:
The scientific significance of the research results lies in the analysis of the epizootological features of helminthiasis and histomoniasis of turkeys in farms and private farms engaged in turkey breeding, the clinical course of the disease, hematological and biochemical changes in the body of turkeys when using some new anthelmintics and vitamin complexes, theoretical and practical justification for the effectiveness of the drugs. The practical significance of the research results lies in the fact that with widespread helminthiasis and histomoniasis in turkeys, the use of antiparasitic drugs and vitamin complexes in turkey farms leads to the recovery of turkey poults, an increase in their viability, growth and development, weight gain, and the achievement of an increase in productivity for through their use in disease prevention. The epizootology and causes of the spread of helminthiasis and histomonosis of turkeys in turkey poultry farms managed by farmers and private individuals of the republic were identified. The use of vitamin complexes in addition to antiparasitic drugs is scientifically substantiated in order to reduce the duration of treatment for turkey histomoniasis, their positive effect on the hemomorphological and hemobiochemical parameters of turkeys. Practical recommendations for the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of turkey histomoniasis have been developed for the widespread use of effective, cost-effective diagnostic methods.

Abstract:
Abstract:An important consideration for introduction of wildlife populations is the risk of disease introduction or dissemination. During the mid‐1970s, a wild turkey restoration program was begun in Wisconsin. The objective of this program was to reestablish a naturally reproducing population of wild turkeys, while minimizing the potential for transmission of avian pathogens to other wild gamebird populations or domestic turkey flocks. A program of health inspection and disease monitoring was implemented to test wild turkeys brought into Wisconsin for release. Serologic evidence of Mycoplasma spp. was detected in a significant number of imported turkeys. The significance of these and other findings of mycoplasmosis in wild and game farm turkeys prompted the development of detailed guidelines for disease monitoring in wild turkey relocation and restoration programs. These guidelines recommend health inspections of representative turkeys from prospective trap sites prior to a relocation program. Disease monitoring, including field testing of sera for Mycoplasma spp. and Salmonella spp. was further recommended for all imported turkeys prior to release with subsequent testing for additional avian pathogens by diagnostic laboratories suggested, depending on availability of technical and financial support.

Abstract:
Reforestation practices have intensified in the Mississippi Alluvial Valley (MAV) of the United States of America with the aid of Farm Bill programs during the past three decades. Increases in reforested land also enhance possibilities to restore once-abundant but currently sparse species, such as eastern wild turkeys (Meleagris gallopavo silvestris) in the MAV. However, it is unknown whether <20-year-old hardwood regeneration provides a suitable habitat for re-establishing wild turkey populations in the MAV. We translocated wild turkeys to two study sites in reforested areas of the MAV. We monitored 74 wild turkeys’ habitat use and resource selection using radio telemetry from February 2009 to June 2010. We developed land use and land cover maps for the resource selection analysis of translocated wild turkeys. We found that turkey habitat use varied by site, sex, season, land cover type, and distance to mature hardwoods. Habitat use by wild turkeys decreased as distance to mature hardwood forest increased. Female wild turkeys used more hardwood regeneration during nesting and post-nesting seasons than during pre-nesting seasons. Although wild turkeys did not use regenerating and mature hardwood forests to the same extent, management of these forests appears critical to restoring wild turkeys in the MAV.

Abstract:
The feed supplementation of probiotic microorganisms is a promising method for detoxification of ochratoxin A (OTA) in poultry. The aim of the study was to investigate the effect of newly elaborated synbiotics on the turkey performance, the intestinal microbiota and its enzymatic activity in turkeys (0–15 weeks) fed OTA contaminated feed (198.6–462.0 µg/kg) compared to control group (OTA-free feed). The studies determined the composition of intestinal microorganisms by the culture method and the activity of fecal enzymes by spectrophotometry. It was found that OTA had an adverse effect on the body weight, the intestinal microbiota and the fecal enzymes activity in turkeys. On the other hand, synbiotics resulted in an increase in the count of beneficial bacteria while reducing the number of potential pathogens in the digestive tract. Moreover, synbiotics caused an increase in the activity of α-glucosidase and α-galactosidase, while decreasing the activity of potentially harmful fecal enzymes (β-glucosidase, β-galactosidase, β-glucuronidase) in the turkey’s excreta. Results indicate a beneficial effect of elaborated synbiotics on the health of turkeys and a reduction of the negative impact of OTA contaminated feed. These synbiotics can be successfully used as feed additives for turkeys.

Abstract:
Les fumonisines (FBs) sont les principales mycotoxines produites par Fusarium verticillioides et Fusarium proliferatum, qui se retrouvent partout dans le monde dans le maïs et ses produits dérivés. Les doses toxiques et les signes cliniques de toxicité provoqués par les FBs varient dune espèce à lautre. La toxicité des FBs est généralement liée à leur capacité à bloquer le métabolisme des sphingolipides chez les espèces animales, y compris chez les espèces aviaires. De précédentes études ont démontré que les canards présentent une plus grande sensibilité à la toxicité des FBs que les dindes, alors que laccumulation de sphinganine (Sa) dans les tissues est plus importante chez les dindes que chez les canards. Lobjectif de nos travaux était de comprendre les différences de toxicité entre les dindes et les canards los dune exposition aux FBs. Les trois hypothèses suivantes ont été explorées : i) La toxicocinétique de la fumonisine B2 chez les dindes et les canards. ii) La capacité des cellules aviaires à se protéger de limportante accumulation de sphingolipides libres en augmentant leur catabolisme (phosphorylation). iii) Des mécanismes de toxicité des FBs autre que leur altération via le métabolisme des sphingolipides (stress oxydatif et les réponses inflammatoires). Lanalyse des paramètres de toxicocinétique de la fumonisine B2 na pas mis en évidence de différence significative entre les dindes et les canards. Les mesures de la toxicité simultanée de plusieurs FBs chez les dindes et les canards ont confirmé la forte sensibilité des canards. Laccumulation de shingasine-1-phosphate (Sa1P) dans le foie a également été corrélée avec la quantité de Sa mais pas avec les paramètres hépatiques de toxicité. De plus cette étude a mis en évidence que la quantité de Sa dans le foie était fortement dépendante de la teneur en FBs. Cependant les FBs nont eu aucun effet sur les paramètres de stress oxydatif pour les deux espèces. De manière intéressante, les FBs ont eu une légère réponse inflammatoire chez les canards mais pas chez les dindes. Des investigations plus poussées sur les effets des FBs sur le métabolisme des céramides et sur les processus inflammatoires seraient nécessaires pour comprendre les différences de toxicité entre les dindes et les canards exposés aux FBs<br>Fumonisins (FBs) are the major mycotoxins produced by Fusarium verticillioides and Fusarium proliferatum, which are found worldwide in maize and maize products. FBs toxic dose and clinical signs of toxicity vary from one species to another. FBs toxicity is commonly linked to their ability on blocking sphingolipids metabolism in all animal species, including avian species. Previous studies have demonstrated that ducks exhibit higher sensitivity to FBs toxicity than turkeys, whereas, the accumulation of sphinganine (Sa) in tissues is more pronounced in turkeys than in ducks. The objectives of our works were to investigate the causes which lead to different toxicity between ducks and turkeys to FBs exposure. The following three hypotheses were investigated: i) Toxicokinetics of fumonisin B2 in ducks and turkeys. ii) Ability of bird cells to protect themselves against high accumulation of free sphingolipids by increasing their catabolism (phosphorylation). iii) Other toxicity mechanisms of FBs rather than their alteration of sphingolipids metabolism (oxidative stress damage and inflammatory responses). The analysis of toxicokinetic parameters of fumonisin B2 did not provide a significant difference between ducks and turkeys. The measurement of simultaneous toxicity of FBs in ducks and turkeys confirmed higher sensibility of ducks. Also the accumulation of Sphingasine-1-Phosphate (Sa1P) in the liver correlated with the amount of Sa but not parameters of hepatic toxicity. Moreover, this study revealed that the amount of Sa in the liver was strongly dependent on the amount of FBs. On the other hand, FBs had no effect on oxidative damages parameters in both species. Interestingly, FBs had mild inflammatory response effect in ducks but not in turkeys. Further investigation on the effects of FBs on ceramide metabolism and inflammatory processes would be necessary to understand the different toxicity between ducks and turkeys to FBs exposure

Abstract:
Several experiments were conducted to identify the limiting amino acids in a 22% corn-soybean meal diet for poults from one to three weeks of age. Additional studies were designed to investigate changes in muscle composition and protein turnover in response to essential (EAA) and nonessential amino acid (NEAA) supplementation of the low protein diet. Developmental changes in muscle metabolism as well as differences between muscles were also examined. Protein synthesis was determined using a ¹⁴C-tyrosine emulsion technique. Protein degradation was calculated as the difference between synthesis and deposition rates. A 30% protein diet served as a control in all experiments. Methionine was confirmed as the first limiting amino acid. Individual deletion of EAA from a mixture added to the 22% protein diet indicated deficiencies of lysine, threonine and valine. Although lysine was more deficient than valine, the valine deficit was exacerbated by high dietary leucine and isoleucine levels. A dietary level of 1.25% valine was inadequate to support optimum growth, inferring a higher requirement than current recommendations. The addition of methionine, lysine and threonine and valine to the 22% protein diet supported maximum growth but feed efficiency remained depressed. Improvements in performance associated with NEAA supplementation indicated a crude protein deficiency in the 22% protein diet. The weights of the pectoralis and gastrocnemius muscles varied directly with body weight. Increases in pectoralis weight were primarily the result of expansions in DNA-unit size. Changes in DNA-unit size and number of the gastrocnemius could not be demonstrated despite consistent alterations in muscle mass. A supplement of methionine and lysine significantly decreased pectoral synthesis rate although protein synthesis tended to decline with any combination of added amino acids. The fractional synthesis rate in the gastrocnemius was relatively stable regardless of diet although a decrease was noted with methionine supplementation. Therefore, alterations in the fractional rate of protein deposition in both muscles were primarily attributable to fluctuations in degradation. Protein deposition was markedly reduced with methionine and lysine supplementation. However, the fractional and absolute rates of protein deposition were maximized by the combined addition of methionine, lysine, threonine and valine, concurring with body weight gain results. Thus, while equal rates of deposition were obtained with the 30% protein diet and the EAA-supplemented 22% protein diet, the latter represents a considerable reduction in energy expenditure for protein turnover.<br>Ph.

Abstract:
&lt;p&gt;Two sequential earthquakes on February 6th, 2023, with moment magnitudes of 7.8 and 7.5, have devastated southeast Turkey, affecting more than 11 cities. Field reconnaissance revealed that the disaster not only affected urban areas but also resulted in substantial damage to office-type buildings and industrial zones, causing economic losses and hindering the region's recovery. In this paper, the most commonly observed damages in office buildings and industrial facilities and their underlying causes are discussed. Innovative retrofitting suggestions are provided to enhance the seismic performance of such buildings, including dampers and special anchors for connection details. Additionally, some of the ongoing or recently completed innovative retrofitting methods, such as damper retrofit for industrial and office buildings in Turkiye, are presented.&lt;/p&gt;

Abstract:
In our country, in recent years, much attention has been paid to the development of&#x0D; poultry meat production, especially turkey breeding. In the conditions of industrial&#x0D; turkey breeding, when a large number of poultry is kept in a limited area, there is a&#x0D; high risk of parasitic diseases, one of which is eimeriosis. Knowledge of the species&#x0D; composition of Eimeria on a particular poultry farm is of great practical importance&#x0D; for the reasonable development of effective methods to control invasion and to&#x0D; monitor Eimeria resistance to the drugs used. Eimeria species were identified after&#x0D; the end of sporulation. To assess the course of sporulation of Eimeria oocysts during&#x0D; their cultivation, at least 500 oocysts were examined from each Petri dish every six&#x0D; hours under a high magnification microscope (x400) paying special attention to&#x0D; their morphology. When examining and studying litter samples 24 hours after they&#x0D; were put on cultivation, sporulated Eimeria oocysts of turkeys were detected in all six&#x0D; dishes in 37.8% to 60.6% of those examined, and the average rate was 51.6%. At 48&#x0D; hours after the start of cultivation, the average Eimeria sporulation rate was 83.4%.&#x0D; The results of species identification of Eimeria oocysts showed that the following&#x0D; Eimeria species were found in young turkeys on the poultry farm of the Tula Region:&#x0D; Eimeria meleagrimitis (60.0%), E. gallopavonis (25.0%), E. meleagridis (10.0%), and&#x0D; E. adenoides (5.0%).

Abstract:
Abstract New multiparameter biomechanics models are developed in this work for the characterization of bone strengths in broiler chickens and turkeys, as functions of the major physical and biochemical parameters, which can contribute to mechanical properties of bone strengths in these birds, under good management practices. Theoretical and experimental methods have been developed in this study to model bone strength as functions of (a) the physical parameters only and (b) the biochemical parameters only, which can affect bone strength. The choice of any particular methodology will depend on the availability of either the physical or biochemical parameters, which can be obtained from experimental data. Possible useful practical applications of the statistical biomechanics principles developed in this technical paper, particularly in the field of bone strength enhancement in turkeys and broiler chickens will be discussed. In view of the problems described, the major objectives of the present study are as follows: (1) To develop new multiparameter biomechanics models for the characterization of bone strengths in turkeys and broiler chickens as functions of the major physical only, or biomechanical parameters only, which can contribute to bone strength in these birds, under conditions of good management of these birds. This study will consider only the compressive buckling as the mode of structural failure in the cellular material of the bone. (2) To highlight briefly the possible practical applications of the statistical biomechanics principles, which will be developed in this study to the genetic improvement of bone strengths in broiler chickens and turkeys.

Abstract:
Like other bird and mammal species whose populations have been restored through conservation efforts, wild turkeys are treasured by many recreationists and outdoor enthusiasts. Wild turkeys have responded positively to wildlife habitat and population management. In some areas, however, their increased populations have led to increased damage to property and agricultural crops, and threats to human health and safety. Turkeys frequent agricultural fields, pastures, vineyards and orchards, as well as some urban and suburban neighborhoods. Because of this, they may cause damage or mistakenly be blamed for damage. Research has found that despite increases in turkey numbers and complaints, damage is often caused by other mammalian or bird species, not turkeys. In the instances where turkeys did cause damage, it was to specialty crops, vineyards, orchards, hay bales or silage pits during the winter. In cultured crops or gardens where wood chips, pine straw or other bedding materials (mulch) are placed around plants, wild turkeys sometimes scratch or dig up the material and damage plants when searching for food. Wild turkeys are a valuable game species, treasured by recreational hunters and wildlife enthusiasts.

Full text
Abstract:
High temperature stress is of major concern to turkey producers in Israel and the United States. The decline in the rate of egg production at high environmental temperature is well recognized, but the neuroendocrinological basis is not understood. Our objectives were: 1) to characterize the hypothalamo-hypophyseal axis involvement in the mechanism(s) underlying the detrimental effect of heat stress on reproduction, and 2) to establish procedures that alleviate the damaging effect of heat stress on reproduction. Heat stress (40oC, Israel; 32oC, U.S.) caused significant reduction in egg production, which was restored by VIP immunoneutralization. The decline in egg production did not appear to be entirely related to the expression of incubation behavior due to the rise in circulating PRL in stressed birds. Heat stress was found to increase circulating PRL in ovariectomized turkeys independent of the reproductive stage. Active immunization against VIP was shown for the first time to up-regulate LHb and FSHb subunit mRNA contents. These findings taken together with the results that the heat stress-induced decline in egg production may not be dependent upon the reproductive stage, lead to the suggestion that the detrimental effect of heat stress on reproductive performance may be in part mediated by VIP acting directly on the GnRH/gonadotropin system. Inhibin (INH) immunoneutralization has been shown to enhance FSH secretion and induces ovulation in mammals. It is hypothesized that immunization of heat-stressed turkeys against INH will increase levels of circulating FSH and the number of preovulating follicles which leads to improved reproductive performance. We have cloned and expressed turkey INH-a and INH-bA. Active immunization of turkey hens with rtINH-a increased pituitary FSH-b subunit mRNA and the number of non-graded preovulatory yellow follicles, but no significant increase in egg production was observed.

Full text
Abstract:
Mycoplasma iowae (Mi) is a pathogenic avian mycoplasma which causes mortality in turkey embryos and as such has clinical and economic significance for the turkey breeder industry. Control of Mi infection is severely hampered by lack of adequate diagnostic tests, together with resistance to most antibiotics and resilience to environment. A markedly high degree of intra-species antigenic variation also contributes to difficulties in detection and control of infection. In this project we have designed an innovative gene-based diagnostic test based on specific amplification of the 16S rRNA gene of Mi. This reaction, designed Multi-species PCR-RFLP test, also amplifies the DNA of the pathogenic avian mycoplasmas M. gallisepticum (Mg) and M. synoviae (Ms). This test detects DNA equivalent to about 300 cfu Mi or either of the other two target mycoplasmas, individually or in mixed infection. It is a quick test, applicable to a wide variety of clinical samples, such as allantoic fluid or tracheal or cloacal swab suspensions. Differential diagnosis is carried out by gel electro-phoresis of the PCR amplicon digested with selected restriction enzymes (Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism). This can also be readily accomplished by using a simple Dot-Blot hybridization assay with digoxigenin-labeled oligonucleotide probes reacting specifically with unique Mi, Mg or Ms sequences in the PCR amplicon. The PCR/OLIGO test increased sensitivity by at least 10-fold with a capacity for rapid testing of large numbers of samples. Experimental infection trials were carried out to evaluate the diagnostic tools and to study pathogenesis of Mi infection. Field studies and experimental infection of embryonated eggs indicated both synergistic and competitive interaction of mycoplasma pathogens in mixed infection. The value of the PCR diagnostic tests for following the time course of egg transmission was shown. A workable serological test (Dot Immunobinding Assay) was also developed but there was no clear-cut evidence that infected turkeys develop an immune response. Typing of a wide spectrum of Mi field isolates by a variety of gene-based molecular techniques indicated a higher degree of genetic homogeneity than predicted on the basis of the phenotypic variability. All known strains of Mi were detected by the method developed. Together with an M. meleagridis-PCR test based on the same gene, the Multi-species PCR test is a highly valuable tool for diagnosis of pathogenic mycoplasmas in single or mixed infection. The further application of this rapid and specific test as a part of Mi and overall mycoplasma control programs will be dependent on developments in the turkey industry.

Full text
Abstract:
Tumors in commercial poultry are caused mainly by infection with avian herpes and retroviruses, the herpesvirus Marek's disease virus (MDV) and the retroviruses, reticuloendotheliosis (REV), lymphoid leukosis, subgroups A-I and J (ALV and ALV-J) in chickens, or Iymphoprolipherative disease (LPDV) in turkeys. Infection with one virus aggravates the clinical outcome of birds that are already infected by another oncogenic virus. As these viruses do not interfere for infection, MDV and one or more retroviruses can infect the same flock, the same bird and the same cell. While infecting the same cell, herpes and retroviruses might interact in at least three ways: a) Integration of retrovirus genomes, or genomic fragments (mainly the LTR) into MDV;b) alteration of LTR-driven expression of retroviral genes by MDV immediate- early genes, and c) by herpesvirus induced cellular transcriptional factors. The first type of molecular interaction have been demonstrated to happen efficiently in vitro by Dr. Kung, in cases multiple infection of cell cultures with MDV and REV or MDV and ALV. Moreover, Dr. Witter showed that an in vitro-created recombinant, RM1, had altered in vitro replication and in vivo biological properties. A more comprehensive characterization of RM1 was carried out in the present project. We sought to highlight whether events of such integrations occur also in the bird, in vivo. For that, we had first to determine the prevalence of dually-infected individual birds in commercial flocks, as no systematic survey has been yet reported. Surprisingly, about 25% of the commercial flocks infected with avian oncogenic viruses had a multiple virus infection and 5% of the total samples ana lysed had multiple virus sequences. Then, we aimed to evaluate and characterize biologically and molecularly the resulting recombinants, if formed, and to analyse the factors that affect these events (virus strains, type and age of birds and time interval between the infection with both viruses). The perception of retrovirus insertions into herpesviruses in vivo is not banal, as the in vivo and in vitro systems differ in the viral-target cells, lymphocytes or fibroblasts, in the MDV-replicative type, transforming or productive, and the immune system presence. We realized that previous methods employed to study in vitro created recombinant viruses were not adequate for the study of samples taken directly from the bird. Therefore, the Hot Spot-combined PCR was developed based on the molecularly known RM1 virus. Also, the PFGE that was used for tissue cultured-MDV separation was inefficient for separating MDV from organs, but useful with feather tips as a source of bird original MDV. Much attention was dedicated now to feathers, because if a recombinant virus would be formed in vivo, its biological significance would be evident by horizontal dissemination through the feathers. Major findings were: a) not only in vitro, but also in vivo MDV and retrovirus co-infections lead to LTR integrations into MDV. That was shown by the detection of chimeric molecules. These appeared in low quantities and as quasispecies, thus interfering with sequence analysis of cloned gel-purified chimeric molecules. Mainly inserts were located in the repeat long MDV fragments. In field birds chimeric molecules were detected at a lower frequency (2.5%) than in experimentally infected birds (30-50%). These could be transmitted experimentally to another birds by inoculation with chimeric molecules containing blood. Several types of chimeric molecules were formed, and same types were detected in birds infected by a second round. To reproduce viral integrations, in vivo infection trials were done with field inoculate that contained both viruses, but the chimeric molecule yield was undetectable.
