hemorrhagic enteritis of turkeys: influence of maternal antibody and age at exposure.the effect of maternal antibody (mab) to hemorrhagic enteritis (he) on the response of turkeys to infection with virulent and avirulent strains of he virus (hev) was examined. the influence of age at exposure and treatment with hev antibody on development of clinical he also was studied. mab protected poults from clinical he for up to 6 weeks of age. mab also interfered with vaccination against the disease for at least 5 weeks after hatching, as indicated by absence of hev antigen in spleens and ...19892559708
some observations on the response of ring-necked pheasants to inoculation with various strains of cell-culture-propagated type ii avian adenovirus.the response of ring-necked pheasants to inoculation with three strains of cell-culture-propagated type ii avian adenovirus was examined. marble spleen disease (msd) virus of pheasants and both avirulent and virulent strains of hemorrhagic enteritis virus (hev) of turkeys all induced typical gross and microscopic splenic lesions of msd; neither msd-associated lung lesions nor mortality were noted in inoculated pheasants, regardless of strain of virus used. pheasants inoculated with a cell-cultur ...19882848487
respiratory disease (rhinotracheitis) of turkeys in brittany, france. iii. interaction of multiple infecting agents.a candidate breeder flock of turkeys was studied during and after an outbreak of rhinotracheitis. laboratory studies revealed the presence of three pathogens during the acute phase of the disease. these agents were hemorrhagic enteritis virus (hev), paramyxovirus type 2 (pmv2), and chlamydia. twenty-five turkeys in the flock were individually identified, and blood samples from these birds were collected for serological studies each week for 21 weeks. the serological results revealed high titers ...19852985039
immunosuppressive effects of virulent strain of hemorrhagic enteritis virus in turkeys vaccinated against newcastle disease.one week after infection with a virulent strain of hemorrhagic enteritis virus (hev), turkeys were vaccinated for newcastle disease. the effect of a virulent strain of hev on turkeys' immune response to newcastle disease vaccine and the mitogenic response of their whole blood peripheral lymphocytes were examined. the results revealed a statistically significant difference (p less than .01) in the newcastle disease hemagglutination inhibition (ndhi) antibody titers from turkeys infected with viru ...19852986088
hemorrhagic enteritis of turkeys in california: serologic study of hemorrhagic enteritis virus antibody with an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.the incidence of hemorrhagic enteritis (he) infection in california turkeys was studied by testing 2220 turkey blood samples from 173 flocks for he virus (hev) antibody by the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (elisa). maternal antibody was detected at 1 day of age in all flocks tested, and it vanished after 3 weeks. acquired hev antibody appeared at 8 to 10 weeks, and 100% of the meat and breeder turkey flocks were positive after 11 weeks of age. hev infection occurred earlier in the meat flock ...19852992436
quantitation of hemorrhagic enteritis virus antigen and antibody using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays.enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (elisas) were developed to quantitate hemorrhagic enteritis virus (hev) antibodies in turkey sera and hev antigens in tissue extracts. these assays were more sensitive than the commonly used agar-gel precipitin tests in detecting antigen and antibody. the antibody-elisa was used to monitor the presence and decline of passive antibodies in turkey poults and the seroconversion of turkeys infected with hev. the antigen-elisa was carried out using a monoclonal anti ...19863028352
isolation of hemagglutinating encephalomyelitis virus from respiratory tract of pigs in japan. 19873033381
further studies on in vitro and in vivo assays of hemorrhagic enteritis virus (hev).isolation of hemorrhagic enteritis virus (hev) from spleens of infected turkeys in the mdtc-rp19 lymphoblastoid cell line was compared with detection of hev antigen in the same spleens using the agar gel precipitation (agp) test. a concordance of 80% was found between the two assays. virus isolation had a sensitivity of 84% and a specificity of 88% compared with the agp test. rp19 cells were also susceptible to infection with several other avian adenoviruses, but such infection was easily differ ...19873039962
pathogenesis of haemagglutinating encephalomyelitis virus (hev) in mice experimentally infected by different routes.three-day-old suckling mice inoculated intracerebrally (i.c.) with the 67n strain of haemagglutinating encephalomyelitis virus (hev) showed nervous signs and died. the virus was passaged 10 times in suckling mice and was designated the mb-67n strain. the pathogenesis of mb-67n was studied with various ages of mice and inoculation routes. all mice inoculated i.c. with a large dose of virus died regardless of age, although a smaller dose caused fatal infection only in suckling mice. by intranasal, ...19863546411
colibacillosis of turkeys exacerbated by hemorrhagic enteritis virus. laboratory studies.lesions typical of colibacillosis disease were reproduced in laboratory experiments. mortality resulting from experimentally produced colibacillosis was significantly increased when escherichia coli o1:k1 was presented to poults that had been orally inoculated with hemorrhagic enteritis virus (hev) 1 week earlier. these and previous data suggest that hev infection can exacerbate colibacillosis of older poults. hev infection apparently damages the poults' defense system enough to account for the ...19853907613
