Emaciation was a consistent necropsy finding in the woodcock involved in this die-off. This reovirus infection appeared to be systemic, had the potential for fecal-oral virus transmission, and was associated with deterioration of body condition. To our knowledge this is the first report of a virus isolate from wild American woodcock. A survey conducted in 1990-92 indicated that this virus was not present at detectable levels in the woodcock breeding and wintering population.</p></div></div> application/pdf 10.2307/1592132 en American Association of Avian Pathologists American woodcock (Scolopax minor) mortality associated with a reovirus article
