During the 7-year period 1968-74 cases of duck virus enteritis (duck plague) were diagnosed in waterfowl in Pennsylvania. Muscovy ducks were affected in 8 cases, geese in 3 cases, and mallard ducks in 1 case. In 5 of these cases either domestic or wild ducks were closely associated with infected waterfowl but were unaffected.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
