Histopathology of a rhinotracheitis of turkey poults associated with adenoviruses. 1977

R C Dillman, and D G Simmons

Tissues from turkey poults with adenovirus-associated respiratory disease were examined for microscopic lesions. Histopathologic changes observed in tissue from poults submitted with clinical signs of severe respiratory disease ranged from an acute mucoid rhinotracheitis through a fibrinonecrotic tracheitis to a chronic polypoid tracheitis with squamous metaplasia of the tracheal epithelium. Clinically normal poults housed with poults that subsequently developed clinical signs of the disease rarely had basophilic intranuclear inclusions within the epithelial cells of nasal turbinates.

D000818	Animals	Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.

D014132	Trachea	The cartilaginous and membranous tube descending from the larynx and branching into the right and left main bronchi.	Tracheas
D014136	Tracheitis	INFLAMMATION of the TRACHEA that is usually associated with RESPIRATORY TRACT INFECTIONS.	Tracheitides
D014420	Turbinates	The scroll-like bony plates with curved margins on the lateral wall of the NASAL CAVITY. Turbinates, also called nasal concha, increase the surface area of nasal cavity thus providing a mechanism for rapid warming and humidification of air as it passes to the lung.

D014422	Turkeys	Large woodland game BIRDS in the subfamily Meleagridinae, family Phasianidae, order GALLIFORMES. Formerly they were considered a distinct family, Melegrididae.	Meleagridinae,Meleagrididae
