Early infection with Marek's disease virus can jeopardize protection conferred by laryngotracheitis vaccines: a method to study MDV-induced immunosuppression

AVIAN PATHOLOGY, 45(6), 606–615.

By: N. Faiz  n, A. Cortes n, J. Guy n , O. Fletcher n, M. West n, E. Montiel, I. Gimeno n 

author keywords: Marek's disease; immunosuppression; laryngotracheitis; model; MDV-induced immunosuppression
MeSH headings : Animals; Chickens / immunology; Chickens / virology; Female; Herpesvirus 2, Gallid / immunology; Immunosuppression Therapy; Marek Disease / immunology; Marek Disease / virology; Models, Immunological; Specific Pathogen-Free Organisms; Tracheitis / prevention & control; Tracheitis / veterinary; Tracheitis / virology; Vaccination / veterinary; Viral Vaccines / immunology
TL;DR: The objective was to document the impact of late-MDV-IS on commercial poultry (meat-type chickens bearing MAb against MDV and that were vaccinated or unvaccinated against MD) and to optimize a model to study late- MDv-IS under laboratory conditions. (via Semantic Scholar)

Transmissible Viral Proventriculitis Identified in Broiler Breeder and Layer Hens

Avian Diseases, 56(4), 757–759.

By: R. Marusak*, M. West*, J. Davis, O. Fletcher* & J. Guy* 

author keywords: transmissible viral proventriculitis; chicken proventricular necrosis virus
MeSH headings : Animals; Birnaviridae / genetics; Birnaviridae / isolation & purification; Chickens; Fatal Outcome; Female; Formaldehyde / chemistry; Georgia; Paraffin Embedding / veterinary; Poultry Diseases / diagnosis; Poultry Diseases / pathology; Poultry Diseases / virology; Proventriculus / pathology; Proventriculus / virology; Reverse Transcriptase Polymerase Chain Reaction / veterinary; Sequence Analysis, DNA / veterinary; Stomach Diseases / diagnosis; Stomach Diseases / pathology; Stomach Diseases / veterinary; Stomach Diseases / virology; Viral Proteins / genetics
TL;DR: The findings identify TVP as a potential cause of production losses in broiler breeder and commercial layer hens and provide additional evidence for etiologic involvement in TVP by CPNV. (via Semantic Scholar)

Detection of Chicken Proventricular Necrosis Virus (R11/3 Virus) in Experimental and Naturally Occurring Cases of Transmissible Viral Proventriculitis with the Use of a Reverse Transcriptase-PCR Procedure

AVIAN DISEASES, 55(1), 70–75.

By: J. Guy n , M. West n, F. Fuller n , R. Marusak n, H. Shivaprasad*, J. Davis*, O. Fletcher n

author keywords: polymerase chain reaction; chicken; proventriculitis
MeSH headings : Adenoviridae Infections / veterinary; Animals; Aviadenovirus; Cells, Cultured; Chick Embryo; Chickens; Poultry Diseases / virology; Proventriculus / virology; Reverse Transcriptase Polymerase Chain Reaction / veterinary
TL;DR: Findings indicate the utility of the RT-PCR procedure for detection of CPNV and provide additional evidence for an etiologic role for this virus in TVP. (via Semantic Scholar)

2011 journal article

Physical and Genomic Characteristics Identify Chicken Proventricular Necrosis Virus (R11/3 Virus) as a Novel Birnavirus

AVIAN DISEASES, 55(1), 2–7.

By: J. Guy n , M. West n & F. Fuller n 

author keywords: birnavirus; chicken; proventriculitis
MeSH headings : Amino Acid Sequence; Animals; Birnaviridae / classification; Birnaviridae / genetics; Birnaviridae Infections / veterinary; Birnaviridae Infections / virology; Capsid Proteins / genetics; Capsid Proteins / metabolism; Chickens; Cloning, Molecular; Genes, Viral; Genome, Viral; Molecular Sequence Data; Phylogeny; Poultry Diseases / virology; RNA, Viral / genetics
TL;DR: Chicken proventricular necrosis virus, isolate R11/3, previously was isolated from transmissible viral proventriculitis–affected chickens and was determined to be the likely etiology of this disease, and phylogenetic analyses based on VP1 demonstrated that CPNV is deeply divergent from other birnaviruses.
