Abstract
Specific-pathogen-free ducks 24 and 180 days old were inoculated intranasally with the WVU 1853 strain of M. synoviae (MS). No significant gross lesions were found in the infraorbital sinus, trachea or air sacs at 7 or 28 days postinfection; MS was recovered from all these organs. A few ducks responded serologically by developing agglutinating antibodies. MS multiplied in embryonated duck eggs but to lower titers than in embryonated chicken eggs.This publication has 1 reference indexed in Scilit:
