Infectious Disease Survey of Rio Grande Wild Turkeys in the Edwards Plateau of Texas [PDF]
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.

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

Instances of intraspecific nest parasitism in eastern and Rio Grande wild turkeys
Wildlife Society Bulletin, 2022 Abstract Nest parasitism can play an important role in processes regulating population dynamics of both hosts and parasites. Inter‐ and intra‐specific nest parasitism are 2 alternative reproductive strategies observed to occur in about 1% of all bird species. Recently, low productivity in wild turkey (

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.

Survival of Rio Grande Wild Turkey chicks
Journal of Field Ornithology, 2005 Knowledge of chick survival rates is required to develop species-specific habitat-survival relationships. We determined pre-flight daily survival of Rio Grande Wild Turkey (Meleagris gallopavo intermedia) chicks from hatching to time of tree roost at four sites in southwestern Kansas and the Texas Rolling Plains, May-August, 2000 and 2001.

LANDSCAPE METRICS RELATED TO RIO GRANDE WILD TURKEY WINTER ROOSTS IN SOUTH TEXAS
Wildlife Society Bulletin, 2010 : Roost sites may be a limiting factor for Rio Grande wild turkey (Meleagris gallopavo intermedia) distribution. Because the landscape context of roost sites may influence use of these sites, it is important to understand roost‐habitat characteristics ...

5: STATUS OF THE INTRODUCED RIO GRANDE TURKEY IN NORTHEASTERN IOWA*†
Wildlife Society Bulletin, 1973 After the extirpation of the eastern wild turkey (Meleagris gallopavo silvestris) in Iowa, several unsuccessful attempts were made to reestablish turkeys in the wild. Then, during the winter of 1960‐61, 39 Rio Grande turkeys (M. g. intermedia) from Texas
