“…Although the broad antigenicity exhibited within the whole FAV group (McFerran et al, 1972;McFerran & Adair, 1977;Cowen et al, 1977), and between FAV2 and FAV12 in particular (Dorn et ah, 1980) hindered a clear-cut identification of the SMS-associated virus, isolate S90, by microtitre plate neutralization tests only, restriction enzyme analysis enabled us to distinctly define S90 as a strain of FAV12. These results were confirmed by nucleic acid hybridiza- tion tests (Mendelson, 1994; data not shown here).…”

“…Poultry flocks usually have antibodies against several different FAV serotypes, showing that infection with one serotype does not protect against others (McFerran & Adair, 1977;Monreal, 1984). A study of a recent epidemic in Germany featuring IBH, hydropericardium and low hatchability among chick embryos and broilers showed that a highly virulent FAV2 virus strain was the only pathogen involved.…”

“…IBH is usually seen in meat-producing birds between three and seven weeks of age. Morbidity is low and Mortality usually ranges between 5% and 10%, but it can reach 30 % (12)(13)(14). The main postmortem finding is pale, friable and swollen liver with multiple petechial hemorrhage (15)(16)(17).…”

Background and Aims: Inclusion body hepatitis (IBH) is one of the most important reemerging diseases in many countries with intensive poultry industries. In Iran, the etiological agent of IBH (fowl adenovirus) has not been yet confirmed. The aim of this study was the molecular detection and identification of fowl adenovirus involving IBH in chicken flocks in Iran. Materials and Methods: Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and sequence analysis of L1 hexon gene was utilized to detect and to determinate the genotypes of Fowl adenovirus (FAdV) in broiler breeder flocks. Histopathological sections were prepared and examined. Results: FAdVs were detected in livers. Based on sequencing analysis of the hexon gene, they were genetically related to FAdV-11, a member of the fowl adenovirus D species, with 98% homology to Korean strain in 2011. Histological examination revealed necrotizing hepatitis with basophilic intranuclear inclusion bodies in the hepatocytes. Conclusion: This study provided evidence for the role of fowl adenoviruses as agents, causing this clinical disease in Iran and indicated the importance of accurate diagnosis and prevention in the meat-type flocks.

“…Adenoviruses have been associated with gastrointestinal lesions and disease in several avian species and have also been suggested as part of a multiple etiology rather than primary disease agents (McFerran and Adair, 1977;Lenz et al, 1998). The fact that the eider adenovirus did not cause mortality in experimentally infected mallards could be due to the lack of environmental stressors or other co-factors required by the virus, although differences in host species' susceptibility or the relatively low, parenteral dosage that was used in the experiment may also have affected viral pathogenicity.…”

We examined 10 common eider (Somateria mollissima) males found dead in 1998 during a die-off in the northern Baltic Sea off the southwestern coast of Finland. We diagnosed impaction of the posterior small intestine with mucosal necrosis as the cause of death in all 10 and isolated adenoviruses from cloacal samples of six birds. The adenovirus isolates were not neutralized by reference antisera to group I, II, or III avian adenoviruses. Cloacal swabs from 22 apparently healthy eider females nesting at the mortality area were negative for viruses. An adenovirus isolated from one of the eiders caused clinical signs of illness and gastrointestinal pathology in experimentally infected mallard (Anas platyrhynchos) ducklings. These findings suggest that the adenovirus contributed to the mortality of common eider males in the Finnish archipelago.
