Virus Found in West Virginia’s Wild Turkey Population
October 23, 2013
What is Lymphoproliferative Disease Virus (LPDV)?
This is a virus that causes minor to extreme lesions on a turkey’s head and legs.It is thought to spread between turkeys by direct skin contact or through mosquito bites. Some turkeys can fend off minor infections and survive while others can develop extreme lesions that inhibit their sight and ability to eat, which ultimately leads to death.
Are there health risks for humans?_
The disease poses no risk to human health._ However, like all infections, caution is advised while handling a bird with LPDV._ There is a potential for secondary bacterial infections if birds are handled improperly._ Thoroughly cooking the meat to an internal temperature of a minimum of 165°F is also advised.
Where did it come from?
Little is known about the origin of LPDV in the United States._ LPDV was first detected in domestic turkeys in Europe._ The first confirmed case in the United Sates was in wild turkeys in Georgia in 2009.__
