Abstract:
Marek's disease herpesvirus (MDV) specific internal antigens were found in arterial segments of Single Comb White Leghorn, the Cornell strain, and of broiler chickens infected with virulent type 1 Mh-87 strain of MDV. Atherosclerosis was reproducibly induced in specific pathogen free (SPF) and in broiler chickens by infection with Mh-87 strain of MDV. Under these conditions a direct association was established between MDV infection and MDV-induced-atherosclerosis.
