Virulence of Infectious Laryngotracheitis Viruses: Comparison of Modified-Live Vaccine Viruses and North Carolina Field Isolates
1 Jan 1990
Abstract excerpt
Virulence of six modified-live (ML) infectious laryngotracheitis (ILT) vaccine viruses was compared with that of 11 field isolates (indistinguishable from vaccine viruses by DNA restriction endonuclease analyses) by intratracheal exposure of 4-week-old, specific-pathogen-free chickens. Virulence of ILT viruses was based on an intratracheal pathogenicity index, mortality, and tracheal lesions. Intratracheal...
