Abstract
The antibody titer of 202 chickens to SA-11 rotavirus was determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent blocking assay. The chickens were from 15 separate flocks on 6 farms. The titer was detectable (1:18 or greater dilution) in 43% of the chickens. The wide variation in infection rate between flocks on individual farms (0-90%) indicated there is probably not significant transmission of the virus between flocks on the farm. Significant differences in numbers of serotestpositive birds were found between separate farms, possibly reflecting different management practices.This publication has 4 references indexed in Scilit:
