Abstract

This paper describes some properties of a reovirus isolated from the pancreas and intestines of guinea fowls suffering from a transmissible enteritis. Coronavirus was also recovered from kidneys of the same birds. The guinea fowl reovirus is pathogenic for guinea fowl, duck and chicken embryos, but it does not reproduce by itself the field findings when inoculated in day-old guinea poults, nor was it found to be pathogenic for chicks and ducklings on experimental infection.
