Molecular biology of avian infectious laryngotracheitis virus.
Infectious laryngotracheitis virus (ILTV) is an alphaherpesvirus that causes an economically important chicken disease, which results in delayed growth, reduced egg production, and also frequently in death of the animals. After acute infection of the upper respiratory tract, the virus can establish latency in the central nervous system, and subsequent reactivations can lead to infection of naiv...
متن کاملAvian infectious laryngotracheitis.
Avian infectious laryngotracheitis (ILT) herpesvirus continues to cause sporadic cases of respiratory disease in chickens world-wide. Sources of transmission of ILT infection are three-fold, namely: chickens with acute upper respiratory tract disease, latently infected 'carrier' fowls which excrete infectious laryngotracheitis virus (ILTV) when stressed, and all fomites (inanimate articles as w...
متن کاملMolecular epidemiology of infectious diseases
Molecular epidemiology (ME) is a branch of epidemiology developed by merging molecular biology into epidemiological studies. In this paper, the authors try to discuss the ways that molecular epidemiology studies identify infectious diseases' causation and pathogenesis, and unravel infectious agents' sources, reservoirs, circulation pattern, transmission pattern, transmission probability, and tr...
متن کاملHistopathology of Infectious Laryngotracheitis in Chickens
1. The characteristic lesions of infectious laryngotracheitis are ordinarily restricted to the respiratory tract and are most pronounced in the larynx and trachea. Sometimes the eyelids are affected. A certain percentage of the cases are associated with bronchitis and peribronchitis, pneumonic areas and hemorrhages in the lung, while the involvement of the nasal passages, communicating sinuses,...
متن کاملBook Review: Infectious Disease Epidemiology
This handbook is divided into two sections. Section 1 is composed of seventeen chapters which summarize the basic methods and principles used for the study of infectious disease epidemiology. On the other hand, Section 2 discusses the most important infectious diseases worldwide, grouped in ten separate chapters according to their way of transmission, with an emphasis on their ability to cause ...
