چکیده
In this study antibodies against avian encephalomyelitis virus was detected by indirect ELISA to test for prevalence of avian encephalomyelitis infection in commercial layer belt of Tamil Nadu. A total of 920 sera samples were collected from different age groups of commercial layers. A total seropositivity of avian encephalomyelitis virus was 79.35% and seropositivity of chicks, growers and layers were 28.13, 40.67 and 89.43 respectively. The seroprevalence was found to be higher among layers followed by growers and chicks. The examined layer ocks had no clinical signs, or noticeable drop in egg production. The detection of avian encephalomyelitis antibodies indicates that these ocks were exposed to a eld strain of avian encephalomyelitis virus.
