Increased Virulence of Modified-Live Infectious Laryngotracheitis Vaccine Virus Following Bird-to-Bird Passage
1 Apr 1991
Abstract excerpt
Modified-live (ML) infectious laryngotracheitis (ILT) vaccine viruses, both tissue-culture-origin (TCO) and chicken-embryo-origin (CEO), were passaged 20 times in specific-pathogen-free chickens.
