title: Adenovirus pathogenicity in immature ostriches.
abstract: Two group I avian adenoviruses implicated as the possible cause of "fading chick syndrome" in ostriches less than 8 wk of age were isolated in primary chicken embryo liver cells. These viruses were identified by virus neutralization and further characterized by a pathogenicity trial in immature ostriches. The results showed that these isolates were noninfectious in ostrich chicks.
