Effects of certain stress factors on the re-excretion of infectious laryngotracheitis virus from latently infected carrier birds 2018-09-04 .txt text/plain 2227 112 60 authors: HUGHES, C.S.; GASKELL, R.M.; JONES, R.C.; BRADBURY, J.M.; JORDAN, F.T.W. title: Effects of certain stress factors on the re-excretion of infectious laryngotracheitis virus from latently infected carrier birds Experiments were set up to assess the effects of 'natural' and 'artificial' stresses on the re-excretion of infectious laryngotracheitis (ilt) virus in latently infected chickens recovered from the acute phase of the disease. Experiments were set up to assess the effects of 'natural' and 'artificial' stresses on the re-excretion of infectious laryngotracheitis (In) virus in latently infected chickens recovered from the acute phase of the disease. It appears from these studies that the 'nat ural' stress of rehousing and, or, the addition of a contact bird, and also the onset of lay may increase the shedding rate in the ILT virus carrier. Nine of the 10 birds shed virus after onset of lay compared with only two in the three-and-a-half weeks before, and there was a highly significant increase in the overall number of virus isolations during this period. ./cache/cord-007898-nky7bo6u.txt ./txt/cord-007898-nky7bo6u.txt
