In this study, we investigated turkey reovirus (TReoV) in tissue samples from young birds, aged 15 days. RT-PCR for TReoV detected 3.3 % positive samples and TReoV was successfully isolated in Vero cells. Histological analysis of positive bursa of Fabricius (BF) revealed atrophied follicles and lymphocyte depletion. The number of CD8+, CD4+ and IgM+ cells was lower in infected BF. Phylogenetic analysis based on S3 gene showed that the Brazilian TReoV isolates clustered in a single group with 98-100 % similarity to TReoV strains circulating in the United States. This is the first indication that TReoV infection may be a contributing factor to immunosuppression in young birds.

Avian reoviruses (ARVs) are ubiquitous and play a role in diseases affecting various organs in chickens and turkeys. In recent years, tenosynovitis and lameness emerged as the most frequently reported clinical conditions. In this report, we describe a case of neurological disease associated with ARV infection in 4-week-old turkeys in Alberta.

Article Synopsis
- Avian orthoreoviruses (ARV) are bad news for turkeys and the poultry industry, causing problems like arthritis and costing the US around $33 million a year.
- There isn't a vaccine for this virus yet, and researchers are studying how it spreads, especially between Europe and the US.
- A study in Germany found that many sick turkeys had both turkey and chicken ARVs at the same time, showing a mix of viruses and hinting that migrating birds and trade might spread these viruses around.

Article Synopsis
- Rotavirus (RV) is a major cause of severe gastrointestinal infections and dehydration in infants and children, highlighting its importance as a food and waterborne pathogen.
- There is an ongoing debate about the effectiveness of RV vaccinations, with Turkey adopting a nonmandatory policy while many developed countries have mandatory vaccination practices.
- Our study compares RV infections in Turkey to countries with mandatory vaccination, revealing that Turkey's approach achieves similar or better outcomes in hospitalization and health metrics, offering insights for global vaccination strategies.
1H-Indole-2,3-dione 3-thiosemicarbazones carrying a 4-sulfamoylphenyl moiety with selective antiviral activity against reovirus-1.

1H-indole-2,3-dione 3-[4-(4-sulfamoylphenyl)thiosemicarbazones] (6a-j) were evaluated against Para-influenza-3, Reovirus-1, Sindbis, Coxsackie B4 and Punto Toro viruses. New 1-methyl-1H-indole-2,3-dione 3-[4-(4-sulfamoylphenyl)thiosemicarbazones] (7a-c) were synthesized to evaluate the contribution of methyl substitution at position 1- of the indole ring to antiviral activity. The test results showed that compounds 5-trifluoromethoxy- substituted 6c (EC50: 2-9 µM) and 5-bromo- substituted 6f (EC50: 2-3 µM) have non-toxic selective antiviral activity while not all standards are active against Reovirus-1.

Avian reoviruses continue to cause disease in turkeys with varied pathogenicity and tissue tropism. Turkey enteric reovirus has been identified as a causative agent of enteritis or inapparent infections in turkeys. The new emerging variants of turkey reovirus, tentatively named turkey arthritis reovirus (TARV) and turkey hepatitis reovirus (THRV), are linked to tenosynovitis/arthritis and hepatitis, respectively.
