The primarily affected turkey flocks, causing respiratory distress decreased egg production. Experimentally, turkeys were more susceptible than chickens to H7N2 infection, with 50% bird infectious dose titers equal 100.8 102.8–3.2, respectively. Comparison shedding from cloaca oropharynx demonstrated that recent isolates readily isolated upper tract but rarely gastrointestinal tract. raised concerns regarding availability vaccines could be used for prevention control this poultry. We sought determine if an existing (AI) vaccine prepared 1997 seed stock provide protection against 2002 LPAI (A/turkey/Virginia/15...
