Avian reoviruses 24, 25, and 59 were shown to be related to human reovirus types 1, 2, and
3 by hemagglutination-inhibition, complement-fixation, serum-neutralization, and agar-gel …

Seventy-seven agents, producing cytopathic effects of the syncytial type and cytoplasmic

Three virus isolates, viruses 24, 25, and 59, having characteristics similar to reoviruses,
were isolated from the chicks showing severe cloacal pasting. The isolation was possible on …

Six strains of avian reovirus from the US, Germany and Britain were allocated to three types
on the basis of virus neutralization tests. Representative strains of the three types were then …

Summary Purified reoviruses RAM‐1 and 74/2 were combined and used as antigen. The
Western blot detected antibodies to 16/16 avian reoviruses in sera from experimentally …

Direct evidence for egg transmission of avian reovirus was obtained when a virus isolated
from pooled dead-in-shell chick embryos produced a cytopathic effect typical of avian …

Viruses 24, 25, and 59 were RNA viruses as established by the IUDR, BUDR, and RNAse
and DNAse tests. Various disinfectants such as phenol, Environ-D, and mercury bichloride …

The ultrastructural morphology of avian reoviruses 24, 25, and 59 was studied by electron
microscopy utilizing both negative-staining and thin-sectioning techniques. Viruses 24 and …

A reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction method was developed for avian reovirus
using primers based on the S1 gene of the genome. A reovirus-specific 532-base pair cDNA …
