title: [The occurrence of paramyxoviruses in game birds: epizootiological aspects, characteristics in vivo and in vitro. A review of the literature].
abstract: The recent review is based on recent literature on the epizootiology and on properties of avian paramyxoviruses in vivo and in vitro. Paramyxoviruses are classified according to their pathogenicity (especially serotype 1), in addition to serotyping by means of hemagglutination-inhibition tests and by monoclonal antibody binding assays. Also, neuraminidase-inhibition tests, double-immunodiffusion tests can be performed. Growth properties of the different paramyxovirus-serotypes are accessory techniques to classify paramyxoviruses parallel to the determination of the pathogenicity. Structural polypeptides can be demonstrated in polyacrylamide-electrophoresis, thus leading to a distinction of the different serotypes.
