abstract

to prepare hemagglutination inhibition (hi) antigen the egg drop syndrome virus (edsv) was propagated in 10-day-old embryonated duck eggs. the virus antigen was inactivated with two methods including heating (65°c) and adding 0.5% formaldehyde by considering low destroying effect on hemagglutination (ha) and hi titers. the edsv hi titers of 310 sera and 100 yolks obtained from 23 chicken farms and specific pathogen free (spf) chickens before and after eds vaccination, in various ages were evaluated. specificity, ha activity, stability and electron microscopic observations were similar in the prepared and standard antigens. the hi titers showed an equal sensitivity and specificity and, complete similarity (>99%) between the results obtained by prepared and standard antigens. detection of antibody against edsv using hi test showed slightly less sensitivity but more specificity compared with elisa test. upon the results it is suggested that inactivated eds antigen prepared by either heat or formalin treatment could successfully be used in avian diagnosis laboratories for routine flocks monitoring, eds vaccine controlling and also surveillance of eds vaccination program in poultry industry.

Preparation of an Inactivated Egg Drop Syndrome Antigen for Using in Hemagglutination Inhibition Test.

To prepare hemagglutination inhibition (HI) antigen the egg drop syndrome virus (EDSV) was propagated in 10-day-old embryonated duck eggs. The virus antigen was inactivated with two methods including heating (65°C) and adding 0.5% formaldehyde by considering low destroying effect on hemagglutination (HA) and HI titers. The EDSV HI titers of 310 sera and 100 yolks obtained from 23 chicken farms ...

the current study aimed at investigating the relationship between motivation and test preparation strategies (tpss) used by iranian pre-university students in their preparation period for the university entrance exam (uee). due to the importance of uee in iran, this study also attempted to show its impact on these two important variables. to this end, 100 pre-university students in an iranian p...

Incidence of egg drop syndrome

Aim: To know the magnitude of influence by Egg Drop Syndrome – 1976 (EDS –'76) virus infection in causing drop in egg production in and around Namakkal. Materials and Methods: A total of 150 cloacal swabs and 15 pouch shell glands (uteri) homogenates from 15 poultry farms in and around Namakkal area were used for virus isolation. Three numbers of 10 –dayold embryonated duck eggs were used for t...
