The oncogenic potential of some avian adenoviruses causing diseases in chickens. 1976

A M Fadly, and R W Winterfield, and H J Olander

The oncogenic potentials of three different strains of avian adenoviruses (the Tipton strain of the inclusion body hepatitis virus, the DPI-2, and the Indiana C viruses) were investigated in newborn hamsters. Animal inoculations were via two routes, subcutaneous and intracerebral. All three viruses proved nononcogenic for the hamsters observed over a period of 225 days. However, lesions of hepatitis similar to those of inclusion body hepatitis of chickens were seen in three hamsters inoculated with the DPI-2 virus.
