Enhancement and interference in chickens inoculated with Marek's disease herpesvirus and oncornaviruses. 1975

M E Smith, and W F Campbell, and W M Farrow, and J W Frankel

Enhancement of mortality rates and symptomatology was observed in isolator-held LSI-SPF chickens concurrently inoculated with MDHV and avian oncornaviruses (RAV-1, RAV-2, RAV-7, RAV-50, or REV). Interference with MD antigen production also was demonstrated in extracts of the feather follicle epithelium from chickens inoculated with both MDHV and RAV-1.

D008380	Marek Disease	A transmissible viral disease of birds caused by avian herpesvirus 2 (HERPESVIRUS 2, GALLID) and other MARDIVIRUS. There is lymphoid cell infiltration or lymphomatous tumor formation in the peripheral nerves and gonads, but may also involve visceral organs, skin, muscle, and the eye.

D000818	Animals	Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.

D012190	Retroviridae	Family of RNA viruses that infects birds and mammals and encodes the enzyme reverse transcriptase. The family contains seven genera: DELTARETROVIRUS; LENTIVIRUS; RETROVIRUSES TYPE B, MAMMALIAN; ALPHARETROVIRUS; GAMMARETROVIRUS; RETROVIRUSES TYPE D; and SPUMAVIRUS. A key feature of retrovirus biology is the synthesis of a DNA copy of the genome which is integrated into cellular DNA. After integration it is sometimes not expressed but maintained in a latent state (PROVIRUSES).
