Abstract
Paramyxovirus (PMV) types 1, 2 or 3, are encountered in turkey flocks in France. Lentogenic PMV1 and PMV2 are associated with respiratory problems (Infectious Rhinotracheitis) but they do not seem to be the main etiological agents of this condition. PMV3 alone was detected in laying flocks associated with egg drops. A recently undertaken vaccination programme against PMV3 gives incomplete protection.
