title: Localisation of avian reovirus in the hock joints of chicks after entry through broken skin.
abstract: Avian reoviruses are transmitted vertically via the egg and horizontally following the ingestion of infected faecal material. Experiments conducted on eight one-day-old specific pathogen free chicks provide evidence for occasional infection through broken skin and localisation in the hock joint.
