Characterization of Agents Isolated from Market Chickens in a Quest for Enteric Viruses

Avian adenoviruses ‐ a review

“…Thus Clemmer (1964) compared a number of her isolates (Strains 65, 93 and 95) with four GAL strains (Sharpless, 1962) and EV89 (Burke et al, 1959) and was able to divide these isolates into two serological groups. Group A consisted of GAL1, GAL2, strain 65 and strain 95 and Group B of GAL3, GAL4, strain 93 and EV89.…”

“…(1963) found that FAV-1 (U. Conn.) was inactivated after 1.5 hours at 56°C. A FAV-1 strain isolated by Clemmer (1964) (strain 93) was still viable following 30 min at 70°C, however, 80°C for 30 min destroyed all infectivity. FAV-2 (65) was not completely inactivated after 40 min at 60°C and a type 2 virus (strain 74) isolated by Cho (1971) was resistant to 50°C for 3 hours.…”

“…Clemmer (1964) found FAV-1 (93) resistant to several Genetron (Fluorocarbon) treatments, but sensitive to a 1 in 10,000 concentration of formaldehyde. Resistance of FAV-2 (C74) (Cho 1971), and a type 8 FAV (764) to chloroform has also been described.…”

“…However, although Burke et al (1968) using FAV-1 (strains Phelps, EV89, C9103, GAL3 and GAL4) and Clemmer (1964) using FAV-1 (strains EV89, 93, GAL3 and GAL4) got no agglutination with sheep erythrocytes, Fadly and Winterfield (1975) were successful with FAV-1 (Indiana C)but not FAV-1 (Phelps).…”

“…A number of FAV-1 strains have been shown to agglutinate rat erythrocytes (Burke et al, 1968;Clemmer, 1964). Anderson et al (1971b) demonstrated that haemagglutination by the Phelps (FAV-1) strain was associated with bands containing virus in caesium chloride gradients.…”
