In vitro and in vivo investigations on reticuloendotheliosis virus infection.
Experimental transmission of reticuloendotheliosis (RE) in 1-day-old SPF chickens was achieved by intraperitoneal inoculation of cell-associated and cell-free RE virus (REV). REV-inoculated chickens exhibited an immune response throughout the entire observation period. Viremia persisted for 5--6 months in chickens hatched from REV-inoculated SPF embryonated eggs. The natural occurrence of RE was detected in turkey flocks of farms Bc.
