Scope note: Enfermedad infecciosa aguda y transmisible asociada con una elevada MORTALIDAD y MORBILIDAD de los pavos jóvenes. Está caracterizada por DIARREA, ANOREXIA, retardo del crecimiento, y disfunción inmunológica. La causa se desconoce, aunque en los animales enfermos se han aislado astrovirus (ASTROVIRUS) y coronavirus (CORONAVIRUS DEL PAVO) por lo que se piensa que estos organismos son los responsables de la enteritis y de provocar un incremento de la susceptibilidad a infecciones bacterianas.

It is characterized by DIARRHEA; ANOREXIA; growth depression, and immune dysfunction. The cause is unknown but astroviruses (AVASTROVIRUS) and coronaviruses (CORONAVIRUS, TURKEY) have been isolated from diseased poults and are thought to cause the enteritis and increased susceptibility to bacterial infections.
