Risk Factors and Coinfection Dynamics of Pathogens in Wild Turkeys (<i>Meleagris gallopavo</i>) From Pennsylvania, USA. [PDF]
We determined the associations and risk factors of infection by lymphoproliferative disease virus (LPDV), reticuloendotheliosis virus (REV), three avian Mycoplasma species, and internal parasites in Pennsylvania wild turkeys (Meleagris gallopavo). Active surveillance of parasites and pathogens was conducted over four years and four regions across ...

Co-Infection, but Not Infection Intensity, Increases Shedding in a Gastrointestinal Helminth of Gamebirds. [PDF]
Host heterogeneity in disease transmission is influential in shaping disease dynamics, but its drivers remain poorly understood. Shedding intensity is often assumed to be directly proportional to infection intensity; however, we found that infection intensity was a poor predictor of shedding intensity in Heterakis gallinarum, a gastrointestinal ...
