Adenovirus isolation and serology from wild bobwhite quail (Colinus virginianus)

Adenoviruses isolated from the ceca of two wild bobwhite quail (Colinus virginianus) with hepatic inclusion bodies were classified as avian adenoviruses, serotype TR-59. Serum samples from the same population of bobwhites were negative for serotype TR-59 neutralizing antibody, but 23% were positive...

Description
Summary:Adenoviruses isolated from the ceca of two wild bobwhite quail (Colinus virginianus) with hepatic inclusion bodies were classified as avian adenoviruses, serotype TR-59. Serum samples from the same population of bobwhites were negative for serotype TR-59 neutralizing antibody, but 23% were positive for quail bronchitis virus antibody. This report presents the first evidence of avian adenoviruses in wild bobwhites.
