Now, the modified PCR allows any laboratory to extract virus DNA from preserved tissues to detect
Marek's disease and reticuloendotheliosis.
B-haplotype influence on
Marek's disease, Rous sarcoma, and lymphoid leukosis virus-induced tumors in chickens.
Holding the line against tumor-causing
Marek's disease has required the nonstop diligence of poultry researchers.
Hilleman pioneered the development of numerous vaccines including those for hepatitis A, both plasma-derived and recombinant hepatitis B, measles, mumps, rubella, MMR, pneumococcus, meningococcus and
Marek's Disease.
Marek's disease (MD) virus (MDV) is an [alpha]-herpesvirus that causes MD, a lymphoproliferative disease in chickens.
The disease was later found to be caused by several viruses, including avian leukosis virus (ALV) and
Marek's disease virus.
A questionnaire was widely distributed in 2011 to estimate the global prevalence of
Marek's disease (MD) and gain a better understanding of current control strategies and future concerns.
Embrex is best known for its Inovoject(R) system, now used to vaccinate more than 80 percent of the poultry raised in North America against
Marek's disease.
Before the map, Cheng had found what he thinks are three genes that confer resistance to
Marek's disease, his chief interest.
In both cases, test results were negative for
Marek's disease virus, avian leukosis virus, and reticuloendotheliosis virus.
In an advance that could usher in new vaccines for protecting poultry, Agricultural Research Service (ARS) scientists have sequenced the genetic code of the chicken herpesvirus that causes
Marek's disease.
Comparison of blood and feather pulp (FP) samples for the diagnosis of
Marek's disease (MD) and for monitoring
Marek's diseases vaccination in chickens (serotypes 2 and 3 vaccines) by real time-PCR was evaluated.
