Infectious Tenosynovitis (Viral Arthritis): Influence of Maternal Antibodies on the Development of Tenosynovitis Lesions after Experimental Infection by Day-Old Chickens with Tenosynovitis Virus

Observations on viral tenosynovitis (viral arthritis) in Scotland

“…In our investigation the in-contacts were injected with normal yolk and while no swelling was observed at the site of inoculation, it is possible that the injection caused tissue irritation and aided the establishment of virus. Our results confirm the previous investigations indicating lateral spread of virus to uninoculated contacts van der Heide et al, 1976). The regular isolation of virus from the inoculated legs during the early stages of this experiment were similar to the findings of Menendez et al (1975b); they too rarely succeeded in isolating virus from the respiratory tract.…”

“…Previous investigations have shown uninoculated contacts to become infected although in most cases macroscopic lesions were not detected van der Heide et al, 1976). In our investigation the in-contacts were injected with normal yolk and while no swelling was observed at the site of inoculation, it is possible that the injection caused tissue irritation and aided the establishment of virus.…”

Polymorphism of the Genomic RNAs Among the Avian Reoviruses

“…The S1133 (van der Heide et al, 1976) and P100 (van der Heide, 1980), avian reovirus isolates were kindly supplied by L. van der Heide, Storrs, Conn., U.S.A. The P100 virus represents the 100th tissue culture passage of Sl133.…”

Use of IgY antibody to recombinant avian reovirus σC protein in the virus diagnostics

“…Although these methods are useful for the detection of ARV infection, most of them are laborious and time consuming ( Van et al, 1976;Wood et al, 1986;Meanger et al, 1995). Recently, ELISA is much studied for the ARV diagnosis (Hsu et al, 2006;Xie et al, 2010;Yang et al, 2010).…”
