Construction of Recombinant HVT Expressing PmpD, and Immunological Evaluation against Chlamydia psittaci and Marek's Disease Virus. [PDF]
Chlamydia psittaci (C. psittaci) is an obligate intracellular zoonotic pathogen that can be transmitted to humans from birds. No efficacious commercial vaccine is available for clearing chlamydial infection due to lack of potential vaccine candidates and

Marek's disease virus vaccine compositions and methods of using thereof
Marek's disease virus (MDV), the etiologic agent of Marek's disease, is a potent oncogenic herpesvirus. MDV is highly contagious and elicits a rapid onset of malignant T-cell lymphomas in chickens within weeks after infection.

Parenteral vaccination of mammalian livestock with Newcastle disease virus-based vector vaccines offers optimal efficacy and safety [PDF]
Newcastle disease virus (NDV) is an avian virus that is being evaluated as a vaccine vector for the delivery of foreign genes in mammals. The use of NDV as a vaccine vector in these species offers two major advantages.

DNA Configuration in the Core of Marek's Disease Virus [PDF]
Marek's disease virus DNA appears to be wound around a central structure connecting the two inner poles of the capsid. Based on electron micrographs of Marek's disease virions, a diagram of spatial configuration of virus DNA is presented. This diagram may explain the pleomorphic character of the herpesvirus core observed with the electron microscope.

Pathological mechanisms of avian viral oncogenesis: The central role of MicroRNA
Avian oncogenic viruses represent a major cause of neoplastic and immunosuppressive diseases in poultry, leading to substantial economic losses worldwide and providing valuable models for studying virus-induced tumorigenesis. Among these viruses, Marek’s

Application of lentinan in suppression of Marek's disease virus infection
Marek's disease virus (MDV) is an extremely widespread avian immunosuppressive virus. In recent years, many reports have shown that there are still cases of MDV infection and immunosuppression after immunization with the vaccine. Consequently, there is a

Protection study of the Labio-Marek vaccine against the JM strain challenge in SPF chickens
Marek's disease is a lymphomatous and neuropathic disease of the domestic chickens caused by herpesvirus. Currently the acute form of the disease, with extended visceral lymphomas, is the most common with an incidence of 10-30%.

Marek’s Disease Virus Infection of Natural Killer Cells
Natural killer (NK) cells are key players in the innate immune response. They kill virus-infected cells and are crucial for the induction of adaptive immune responses. Marek's disease virus (MDV) is a highly contagious alphaherpesvirus that causes deadly
