During the early spring of 1979 turkeys on at least 12 sites in England became infected with influenza A viruses. On 5 of these sites no virus was isolated but birds were shown to have antibodies to Hav1 (4 sites) and Hav2 antigenic subtypes of influenza A viruses. The 8 viruses isolated were typed: A/turkey/England/192-328/79 (Hav1 Nav2/3), A/turkey/England/192-329/79 (Hav1 N2), A/turkey/England/199/79 (Hav1 Neq 1), A/turkey/England/214/79 (Hav1 Neq 1), A/turkey/England/250/79 (Hsw 1 N1), A/turkey/England/262/79 (Hav1 Nav2/3), A/turkey/England/272/79 (Hav1 Neq1), A/turkey/England/384/79 (Hav 2 Nav4). Pathogenicity index tests in 6-wk-old chickens agreed with the clinical signs seen in turkeys in the field. Three isolates, 199, 214 and 272, were of extremely high virulence, 384 showed intermediate virulence while the other isolates were of low virulence.
