Determination of Host Specificity of Pigeon Pox and Fowl Pox Viruses Isolated from a Field Outbreak

The aim of the study was to find out the host specificity of pigeon pox virus-1 (PPV-1) and fowl pox virus-2 (FPV-2) following cross infection with field strains from Bangladesh. The cross infection was investigated in five groups (n=5) of pigeons and seven groups of chickens (n=5) four weeks of age. Irrespective of route of inoculation each bird received either 0.1 mL of PPV-1 or FPV-2 having ...

Protection and synergism by recombinant fowl pox vaccines expressing multiple genes from Marek's disease virus.

Recombinant fowl poxviruses (rFPVs) were constructed to express genes from serotype 1 Marek's disease virus (MDV) coding for glycoproteins B, E, I, H, and UL32 (gB1, gE, gI, gH, and UL32). An additional rFPV was constructed to contain four MDV genes (gB1, gE, gI, and UL32). These rFPVs were evaluated for their ability to protect maternal antibody-positive chickens against challenge with highly ...
