Abstract:
Antibodies against egg drop syndrome 1976 (EDS 76) virus (strain 127) were detected with the aid of the haemagglutination inhibition test and virus neutralisation test in serum samples of two out of 381 owls, in one out of four storks, in one out of two swans and in one out of 18 wild geese. The antibody positive two owls and the stork laid eggs with a malformed shell. No antibodies against EDS 76 virus were detected in sera of 16 partridges, 28 pheasants, and 72 birds of prey.

Its transmission occurs primarily through the inhalation of respiratory droplets or direct contact with vesicular fluid from skin lesions.

Although generally self-limiting in children,...
