A significant protection provided by maternal antibodies against avian adenovirus serotypes 8 and 11, previously associated with the inclusion body hepatitis and hydropericardium syndrome, was observed in breeder progenies after challenge at 1 and 7 days of age. At two weeks of age, in the presence of low maternal antibodies against avian adenovirus (AAV), chicken anemia virus (CAV) and infecti...

torque teno virus (ttv) is prevalent worldwide and has been extensively studied in human and some wild and domestic animals. as the studies on ttv in chickens was rare and there was no information about the infection of domestic village chickens with ttv and also structural resemblance of this virus to chicken anemia virus, the frequency of the infection in domestic village chickens in differen...

Chicken anemia virus (CAV) causes diseases in young chickens, which include increased pathogenicity of secondary infectious agents, generalized lymphoid depletion, and immunodepression. In the present study, we have identified 22 CAV strains isolated from several commercial chicken farms in Northern China during 2014-2015. In addition, two CAVs were also isolated from stray mouse and dog feces,...

Chicken anemia virus (CAV) is a small circular single-stranded DNA virus with a single promoter-enhancer region containing four consensus cyclic AMP response element sequences (AGCTCA), which are similar to the estrogen response element (ERE) consensus half-sites (A)GGTCA. These sequences are arranged as direct repeats, an arrangement that can be recognized by members of the nuclear receptor su...

Classical chemotherapy, that spocifically targets rapidly proliferating cells, has been in existence for over eighty yeors and has proven to be fully successful in only a limited number of cancers. Thus, this review focuses on a novel, emerging approach for cancer therapy that uses alternative, a nd more unique features of cancer cells. This new approach faci litates the seloctive targeting of ...

viral infections are the cause of great economic losses in the poultry industry. development of appropriate reagents and serological diagnostic kits will help to control these infections. the aim of this study is to prepare a peroxidase labeled anti-chicken igg using a mab (5b8) against chicken igg, for detection of chicken antibodies in elisa. hybridoma cells producing the mab 5b8 were culture...
