Electron microscopy of avian lymphomatosis virus propagated in tissue culture.

Comparison of an avian osteopetrosis virus with an avian lymphomatosis virus by RNA-DNA hybridization.

Myeloblastosis-associated virus (MAV)-2(0), a virus which was derived from avian myeloblastosis virus and induced a high incidence of osteopetrosis, was compared with avian lymphomatosis virus 5938, a recent field isolate which induced a high incidence of lymphomatosis. The following information was obtained. (i) MAV-2(0) induced osteopetrosis, nephroblastoma, and a very low incidence of hepato...

An electron microscope study of virus-like particles in chick embryo and L cell cultures.

Latent virus infections in chickens have been recognized for several years. Many investigators have seen spherical, virus-like particles in normal chicken cell cultures, and have suggested that they might have been the virus of avian lymphomatosis, which occurs frequently without producing disease symptoms and is transmitted trans-ovarially. Virus-like particles were also observed during the pr...

Comparison of pathogenicity and immunogenicity of two strains (TCND and Montana) of Newcastle disease virus propagated in four tissue cell types

The Use of indirect Immunoperoxidase Assay in Diagnosis of Type A (H9N2) Avian Influenza Virus Antigen on Frozen Tissue Sections

Evaluation of H9N2 avian influenza virus dissemination in various organs of experimentally infected broiler chickens using RT-PCR

Widespread occurrence of H9N2 low pathogenic avian influenza (LPAI) viruses in many Asian countriesduring the past decade has resulted in the need for evaluation of the pathogenesis of H9N2 virus infection. In this study, tissue tropism and dissemination of A/Chicken/Iran/772/1998(H9N2) virus throughout the body of broiler chickens were investigated. The clinical signs, gross lesions and antibo...
