Discussion

Analysis uncovers transmission dynamics and evolutionary rates of turkey reovirus, indicating regional spread patterns.

Turkey reovirus outbreaks have spread nationwide, with significant pathotype transitions leading to arthritis and hepatitis.
Genome analysis of TRV across the U.S. revealed segment-specific evolutionary rates and transmission routes from the East to Minnesota.
Bayesian phylogenetic methods highlighted reassortment events that influenced TRV's emergence as a pathogen in 2011.
Findings emphasize the need for improved control strategies and monitoring to manage the reovirus threat in turkey populations.

Pamornchainavakul et al. (2025) studied this question.
