Aphagia in Chickens

American Journal of Physiology-Legacy Content, 1957
Aphagic chickens have been produced with electrolytic lesions placed stereotaxically in the diencephalon. These chickens were maintained by introducing food into their crops through a tube. They were inactive and lost much of the ‘nervous’ temperament of White Leghorn chickens.

Induction of Immunological Tolerance in Chicken (Gallus domesticus) to DT40 Cells Stably Transfected with GFP

The Journal of Poultry Science, 2009
Genetically modified cells expressing xenogeneic proteins may trigger strong immunological responses when introduced into animals; however, these responses may be prevented by inducing immunological tolerance.

Passaging of a Newcastle disease virus pigeon variant in chickens results in selection of viruses with mutations in the polymerase complex enhancing virus replication and virulence [PDF]

, 2010
Some Newcastle disease virus (NDV) variants isolated from pigeons (pigeon paramyxovirus type 1; PPMV-1) do not show their full virulence potential for domestic chickens but may become virulent upon spread in these animals.
