title: A cataract outbreak in broiler breeders.
abstract: Varying degrees of lens cataract and iritis were found in birds of a flock of grandparent broiler breeders. Major histopathological findings included stromal lens alterations with liquefaction (phacolysis) and globule formation, and a lymphocytic-plasmocytic anterior uveitis. Transmission experiments were performed to assess a possible infectious aetiology. However, a cause for the eye alterations could not be established.
