Abstract:The present study was carried out to identify avian neoplastic viruses in the formalin fixed tissues of fancy chicken. The tissue samples collected during necropsy were examined by histopathology. It showed lymphoid and reticular cell infiltration in kidney, liver and lungs. For identification and differentiation of avian neoplastic viruses, PCR was performed using primer sets specific for Mareks disease virus, avian leukosis complex and reticuloendotheliosis virus. It was found that tumors were REV originated… Show more
“…Diffuse severe RE cell infiltration in ovarian stroma, patchy moderate RE cell infiltration in cardiac muscle and perivascular cuffing, gliosis in brain were noticed. The histopathological changes of liver, ovary, heart and brain observed in this study agreed with the findings of earlier workers (Ponnusamy et al, 2018). The PCR test was highly useful for detection of REV virus (Gopal et al, 2012;Ahmed et al, 2018).…”
