High Mortality of Domestic Turkeys Associated with Highlands J Virus and Eastern Equine Encephalitis Virus Infections

Avian Diseases, 37(2), 585.

By: M. Ficken n, D. Wages, J. Guy* , J. Quinn & W. Emory

topics (OpenAlex): Animal Virus Infections Studies; Virology and Viral Diseases; Herpesvirus Infections and Treatments
TL;DR: High mortality occurred in two flocks of commercial turkey hens placed in southern North Carolina in fall 1991 and it is suspected that these alphaviruses were the cause of the clinical syndrome. (via Semantic Scholar)

1992 article

Vaccination of Turkeys with Cell-Free Culture Filtrate of Pasteurella multocida: Effects of Dilution, Iron Chelation, and Heterologous Challenge

Ficken, M. D., Barnes, H. J., Avakian, A. P., & Carver, D. K. (1992, October 1). Avian Diseases.

By: M. Ficken n, H. Barnes, A. Avakian & D. Carver

topics (OpenAlex): Microbial infections and disease research; Aquaculture disease management and microbiota; Bacterial Identification and Susceptibility Testing
TL;DR: Investigation of cell-free culture filtrate from Pasteurella multocida and its endotoxin content indicates that endotoxin levels of less than 10% but greater than 1% of those in CCF from regular media are sufficient to induce protection in turkeys against homologous challenge but thatCCF from either regular or iron-limiting medium does not provide protection against heterologous challenged.

1991 journal article

Marek's disease virus isolates with unusual tropism and virulence for ocular tissues: Clinical findings, challenge studies and pathological features

Avian Pathology, 20(3), 461–474.

By: M. Ficken n, M. Nasisse n, G. Boggan n, J. Guy n , D. Wages n, R. Witter *, J. Rosenberger*, R. Nordgren*

topics (OpenAlex): Herpesvirus Infections and Treatments; Bartonella species infections research; Yersinia bacterium, plague, ectoparasites research
TL;DR: The unusual clinical manifestation of Marek's disease, the unusual tropism and virulence of NC-1 and NC-2 for ocular tissues and the incomplete protection afforded by conventional vaccination suggest that these isolates may be new pathotypes. (via Semantic Scholar)
