Avian adenoviruses--a review
1Department of Agriculture, Veterinary Research Laboratories, Stormont, Belfast, Northern Ireland.
Avian adenoviruses comprise at least 12 serotypes, distinct from mammalian types, and are linked to respiratory illness, reduced egg production, and hepatitis in poultry. This review covers their structure, spread, and diagnosis.
Area of Science:
- Veterinary Virology
- Avian Pathology
Background:
- Avian adenoviruses are significant pathogens in poultry.
- Understanding their characteristics is crucial for disease management.
Purpose of the Study:
- To review the literature on avian adenoviruses.
- To detail their virion structure, serotypes, epidemiology, diagnosis, and associated diseases.
Main Methods:
- Literature review of avian adenovirus research.
- Analysis of serological data, specifically serum neutralization tests.
Main Results:
- Identification of at least 12 distinct avian adenovirus serotypes.
- Demonstration of a common avian group antigen separate from mammalian adenoviruses.
- Association of avian adenoviruses with respiratory disease, decreased egg production, and hepatitis in poultry.
Conclusions:
- Avian adenoviruses represent a diverse group with significant clinical impact on poultry health.
- Further research into specific serotypes and their pathogenesis is warranted.
