Abstract excerpt
We have measured the pathogenicity for 6-week-old chicks of infection by H7 avian influenza viruses. One virus, strain S3 from A/FPV/Rostock/34(H7N1) showed a temperature sensitive phenotype at 41.5 degrees C and reduced pathogenicity. By analysis of reassortants made between virus S3 and A/FPV/Dobson/27(H7N7), a fully pathogenic virus, two conclusions arise. (1) The critical cut-off temperature for avian...
