PREVALENCE OF TUMOURS AMONG POULTRY FLOCKS IN EGYPT [PDF]
Tumours were found to be responsible for deaths at rates of 11%, 5%, 1.2%, and 3% in native breed chicks, layers, broilers, and broiler breeders respectively. Sera and egg-albumen were monitored for presence of P-27 common antigen of avian leukosis virus

Analysis of DNA methylation of CD79B in MDV-infected chicken spleen
Marek's disease (MD), an immunosuppressive disease induced by Marek's disease virus (MDV), provides an ideal model for studying diseases caused by a carcinogenic virus. CD79B is a B-cell antigen receptor complex-associated protein β-chain precursor which

Occurrence of Marek’s disease in Poland on the basis of diagnostic examination in 2015–2018
Marek’s disease (MD) is a tumourous disease caused by Marek’s disease virus (MDV) and most commonly described in poultry. The aim of the study was to determine the occurrence of Marek’s disease virus infections in Poland and analyse clinical cases in the

Marek’s disease (MD) is caused by an oncogenic alphaherpesvirus, a common lymphoproliferative inducing agent usually characterized by mononuclear cellular infiltrates, mostly T-cell lymphomas in various visceral organs and peripheral nerves. The genome is linear and made up of double-stranded DNA molecules of nearly 160–180 kb in size.

MAREK'S DISEASE HERPES VIRUS: A CYTOMEGALOVIRUS? [PDF]
The DNA of herpes viruses associated with Marek's disease of fowl contains 56-57 moles of guanine and cytosine per 100. The composition of its DNA and lack of infectiousness of cell-free preparations suggest that the herpes virus associated with Marek's disease belongs to the herpes virus group B which contains predominantly cytomegaloviruses.
