Key result
Inoculation with Marek's disease virus in chickens identified four distinct neurologic syndromes, with the neurologic response greatly influenced by viral pathotype.
Population
Antibody-free chickens of two genetic lines
Design

May aid MDV pathotyping via neurologic syndromes in chickens; hypothesis-generating and should not yet change veterinary practice.
The study identifies four distinct neurologic syndromes induced by Marek's disease virus in chickens, suggesting neurologic responses could be a useful criterion for virus pathotyping.
Gimeno et al. (1999) studied Marek's disease. Marek's disease virus (MDV) inoculation was evaluated on Neurologic clinical signs and histopathologic alterations. Inoculation with Marek's disease virus in chickens identified four distinct neurologic syndromes, with the neurologic response greatly influenced by viral pathotype.
