Turkey Swellhead Disease Cause Traced at Tech

Blacksburg May 7 The Virginia Agricultural Experiment Station reports isolating the agent that causes infectious sinusitis or swellhead in turkeys.

The discovery may lead to control of a disease widespread in Virginia turkey flocks affecting both sexes and all ages.
