Laboratory Diagnostic Procedures for Detecting Avian Leukosis Virus Infections

  • Chapter
Avian Leukosis

Part of the book series: Developments in Veterinary Virology ((DVVI,volume 4))

Abstract

Procedures for detecting infections with avian leukosis virus (ALV) have evolved from research on the properties of virus particles, cellular biology of virus multiplication, viral oncogenesis, response of the host to infection and on the epizootiology and control of lymphoid leukosis (LL) in chickens. Most of the test procedures have been based on the inter-relations found to exist between strains of avian sarcoma virus (ASV), which are rarely detected in chickens under natural conditions, and ALVs which are widespread in commercial poultry. Details on the structure of avian retroviruses and their interactions with cells in either in vitro or in vivo environments are given in other Chapters of this volume and general principles and techniques in diagnostic virology have been published (1). The intent herein is to review information on methods that have proven useful in detection of ALV and which may provide background for the development of more efficient procedures.
