Enhancement and interference in chickens inoculated with Marek's disease herpesvirus and oncornaviruses.
Enhancement of mortality rates and symptomatology was observed in isolator-held LSI-SPF chickens concurrently inoculated with MDHV and avian oncornaviruses (RAV-1, RAV-2, RAV-7, RAV-50, or REV). Interference with MD antigen production also was demonstrated in extracts of the feather follicle epithelium from chickens inoculated with both MDHV and RAV-1.
