Egg Propagation of Turkey Pox Virus

Propagation of goat pox virus on monolayer cell cultures

Propagation of goat pox virus on monolayer cell cultures.

Although the majority of different members of poxviruses have been carefully studied, !ittle is known about goat pox and no detailed report on the disease and its causative agent is, so far, available. The cultivation of goat pox virus (GPV) in cell cultures reported in the present paper makes available the most reliable and economic source for large s~ale produc~ion of vaccine to control the d...

Electron Microscopy of Fowl Pox Virus

Role of genetic factors and fowl pox virus in parthenogenesis in turkey eggs.

HREE live poultry viruses-fowl pox, Rous sarcoma and Newcastle diseasehave been employed experimentally at the Agricultural Research Center, Beltsville, Maryland, iin studies designed to test their action on parthenogenesis in eggs of Beltsville Small White (BSW) turkeys. Each of the viruses was found to have an enhancing influence on cells of parthenogenetic origin (OLSEN 1956, 1961; OLSEN and...

Effect of Egg Weight on Egg Traits and Hatching Performance of Turkey (Meleagris gallopavo) Eggs

The study was conducted to determine the effects of turkey (Meleagris gallopavo)egg weight on certain egg traits and hatching performance. A total of 178 turkey eggs comprising of three different egg weight groups below 60 g (G I), 61 to 69 g (G II) and above 70 g (G III) were used for this study. Average egg weight (g), egg length (cm), egg breadth (cm) and egg volume (cm3) values increased wi...
