Infectious tenosynovitis (viral arthritis): characterization of a Connecticut viral isolant as a reovirus and evidence of viral egg transmission by reovirus-infected broiler breeders.
Connecticut isolant S1133 of tenosynovitis was characterized as a reovirus by physicochemical, biological, and morphologic studies. After inoculation of 35-week-old broiler breeders with tenosynovitis virus by subcutaneous route, virus was found in embryos of eggs laid by the breeders during a period of 8 to 12 days after inoculation.
