Pathotyping of Australian isolates of Marek's disease virus and association of pathogenicity with<i>meq</i>gene polymorphism
1 Apr 2012
Abstract excerpt
We report the pathotyping of six Australian isolates of Marek's disease virus-1 (MDV1) isolated between 1992 and 2004 and association of virulence with meq gene polymorphism. Unvaccinated and herpesvirus of turkeys (HVT)-vaccinated specific pathogen free chickens were challenged at day 5 with 500 plaque forming units of Marek's disease virus. The isolates induced gross Marek's disease lesions in 53 to 94% of...
