Space Use and Movements During Egg Laying Associated With Nest Fate and Female Survival in Eastern Wild Turkeys. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
We assessed behaviors of female wild turkeys during the laying period and evaluated impacts of those behaviors on nest success and female survival. We found that increased movements during laying resulted in a decreased probability of nest success but an increased probability of female survival during incubation.

SEROLOGIC RESPONSE OF RIO GRANDE WILD TURKEYS TO EXPERIMENTAL INFECTIONS OF MYCOPLASMA GALLISEPTICUM [PDF]

Journal of Wildlife Diseases, 1988
The serologic response of Rio Grande wild turkeys (Meleagris gallopavo intermedia) to Mycoplasma gallisepticum (MG) was determined. Free-ranging turkeys were caught in southern Texas, shipped to the University of Wisconsin, Madison, and housed in isolation facilities. Fourteen birds were exposed to MG, by intratracheal and intranasal inoculation. Eight

Comparison of heterophil functions of modern commercial and wild-type Rio Grande turkeys [PDF]

Avian Pathology, 2006
The purpose of the present study was to measure any functional differences in peripheral blood heterophils isolated from a commercial turkey line to wild-type Rio Grande turkeys. The phagocytosis of Salmonella enteritidis, oxidative burst (OXB) and degranulation (DGR) were used as parameters of heterophil functional efficiency in these studies.

Journal of Wildlife Diseases, 2002
State wildlife agencies have translocated thousands of wild turkeys (Meleagris gallopavo) since the 1930s to reestablish this species. Because of threats to the domestic poultry industry and wild birds, screening for selected infectious agents has become routine since the early 1980s.

Characterization of Potential Risk Pathways for African Swine Fever Introduction Into Brazil. [PDF]

Transbound Emerg Dis
African swine fever (ASF) poses a serious threat to global swine production, and its reintroduction into Brazil, the world’s third‐largest pork exporter, would have severe socioeconomic consequences. This study characterized the potential risk pathways for ASF introduction in Brazil by analyzing three key aspects: seizure of informally imported animal ...
