Serological evidence of avian encephalomyelitis virus infection associated with vertical transmission in chicks

Biologicals. 2015 Nov;43(6):512-4. doi: 10.1016/j.biologicals.2015.09.003. Epub 2015 Oct 20.

Abstract

Avian encephalomyelitis virus (AEV) can be transmitted both horizontally and vertically. In the present study, we report a typical case of AEV infection in broiler breeder chickens and their progeny identified by clinical survey of the disease, antibody detection, and reverse transcription (RT)-polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assay.

Keywords: Avian encephalomyelitis virus; Chicken; Serology; Vertical transmission.
