Abstract excerpt
1. The association of endogenous viral (ev) genes with quantitative traits in 2 genetically distinct sets of White Leghorn strains were investigated. Strain S had been selected for susceptibility to Marek's disease (MD) whereas strain K had been selected for resistance to MD and high egg production and egg weight. 2. In all, 8 ev genes were typed. Ev10, ev19 and 'newB' occurred exclusively in strain S, 'newA'...
