detection of a macrophage-specific antigen and the production of interferon gamma in chickens infected with newcastle disease virus.formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded spleen and intestinal tissues were harvested at 2 days postinfection from 4-wk-old white rock chickens infected with five different strains of newcastle disease virus (ndv). these tissues were examined for the presence of macrophage antigen expression, virus replication, and interferon gamma (ifn gamma) production. the five strains represented all three ndv pathotypes. viral replication and ifn gamma, as determined by riboprobe in situ hybridization, were detect ...199910611986
exotic newcastle disease in a game chicken flock.a sudden increase in mortality, preceded by a short history of respiratory signs and diarrhea, occurred in a backyard flock of 48 game chickens in the central valley of california. necropsy findings included severe generalized linear hemorrhages and/or ulcers in the digestive tract, larynx, and trachea. histology revealed severe multifocal hemorrhages and necrosis in the mucosa of the respiratory and digestive tracts, vasculitis, and necrosis of lymphoid tissue. the birds were serologically nega ...199910396652
a novel protein polymorphism differentiates the california serotype of infectious bronchitis from other serotypes common to california.the california (cal) serotype of infectious bronchitis virus (ibv) was isolated from layer flocks in southern california in the early 1980s. since then, it has spread to the broiler-producing regions of central california, where it has been implicated in respiratory disease outbreaks in vaccinated flocks. lack of a procedure for quickly identifying ibv serotypes in commercial chicken flocks has prevented the causal association of the ibv cal serotype with respiratory disease outbreaks. a protein ...19979211233
occurrence of velogenic viscerotropic newcastle disease in pet and exotic birds in 1991.in 1991, velogenic viscerotropic newcastle disease (vvnd) was diagnosed in domestic psittacine birds in six states: illinois, indiana, michigan, texas, california, and nevada. in the first four states, the disease assumed outbreak proportions. the affected psittacine birds--yellow-headed amazon parrots (amazona ochrocephala oratrix), yellow-naped amazon parrots (amazona ochrocephala auropalliata), cockatiels (nymphicus hollandicus), and conures (unknown species)--exhibited respiratory and/or cen ...19938452504
seroepidemiologic survey of potential pathogens in obligate and facultative scavenging avian species in california.throughout the world, populations of scavenger birds are declining rapidly with some populations already on the brink of extinction. much of the current research into the factors contributing to these declines has focused on exposure to drug residues, lead, and other toxins. despite increased monitoring of these declining populations, little is known about infectious diseases affecting scavenger bird species. to assess potential infectious disease risks to both obligate and facultative scavenger ...201526606755
paramyxovirus type 3 (pmv-3) in california turkeys: serologic study of pmv-3 antibody with an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (elisa) was developed for detecting paramyxovirus type 3 (pmv-3) antibody. this test had a higher sensitivity than the hemagglutination-inhibition test, and no cross-reactivity with various paramyxoviruses or avian pathogens was detected when the sera were tested diluted 1:200. the incidence of pmv-3 infection in california was studied by testing 2037 turkey sera from 174 meat and breeder flocks for the presence of pmv-3 antibody using the elisa. the age at w ...19854026730
