Reovirus in Broilers

Share:
This project collected serum from broilers at processing from 59 broiler farms in order to test for the presence of reovirus. The virus was isolated from collected tendons of infected birds and grouped into four distinct groups based on the virus's genetic make-up to develop a broiler breeder vaccine for control of reovirus infection.
