Herpesviruses of birds ‐ a review

Abstract: The family of herpesviridae is divided into the subfamilies alpha-, beta- and gammaherpesvirinae. Members of the alphaherpesvirinae (infectious laryngo-tracheitis in gallinaceous birds and duck viral enteritis in waterfowl) may cause substantial economic and ecological losses. Marek's disease and turkey herpesviruses are the only members of the gammaherpesvirinae. Most herpesviruses from free-living and pet birds are tentatively classified as bctaherpesvirinae. These may induce diseases, with variably non-spec… Show more

“…However, the close relationship as shown by restriction analysis to the isolate ELM 653/75 (from a pigeon), classified as serotype 5, leads to the conclusion that the isolate from the owl also belongs to serotype 5. This would confirm earlier serological studies which cannot differentiate isolates from owls, pigeons and falcons (Kaleta, 1990).…”

“…Only recently has restriction endonuclease analysis of viral genomic DNA been introduced in the study of virus isolates from wild or pet birds. In this study, we attempted to apply restriction endonuclease analysis to differentiate 15 herpes- virus isolates from several avian species and to correlate these findings with earlier serological results (Kaleta, 1990). A close correlation between the serology and restriction typing of DNA was generally observed, indicating the suitability of DNA typing for comparative virological studies (Table 3).…”

“…Infectious laryngotracheitis (ILT) is a predominantly acute respiratory disease affecting mainly chickens, but also pheasants, peafowl and guineafowl (Kaleta, 1990). The disease is caused by a gallid herpesvirus 1 (an alpha-herpesvirus).…”
