“…Initial work was carried out with an isolate designated M, and results from these experiments led to a search for further isolates, two of which are described below. Preliminary evidence is presented which implicates these viruses, and ANV G-4260, in the aetiology of baby chick nephropathy (BCN) (Siller, 1981).…”

SUMMARYThree embryo-lethal agents were isolated from broiler chickens having either stunting syndrome or baby chick nephropathy. The agents replicated at low levels in chick kidney cells, but a cytopathic effect was not seen. Their presence was detected by embryo mortalities after yolk sac inoculations. All three agents caused nephritis and growth suppression when inoculated into 1-day-old chicks, and one agent caused increased incidence of baby chick nephropathy. This, and one other agent, were serologically closely related to avian nephritis virus G-4260. Picornavirus-like particles were present in the kidneys of infected birds. The histopathology of baby chick nephropathy was similar to, although more severe than, the nephritis seen in clinically normal birds. The strain of birds used to produce chick kidney cells influenced the ability of G-4260 to form a cytopathic effect and plaques. Strain of bird also influenced the lesions produced on chorio-allantoic membranes after inoculation of G-4260 and the above isolates.

“…Vitamin A deficiency or mycotoxin in the food might cause nephrosis, and finally uricosis, too. Infections of certain nephropathogenic strains of infectious bronchitis virus (IBV) also result in nephrosis and interstitial nephritis (Siller, 1981). All of these changes end up finally as gout (Calnek et al, 1997); therefore, the differential diagnosis of ANV infections is difficult or not possible merely on the basis of the morphological and histological lesions.…”

Kidney samples from chickens diagnosed with acute nephritis and gout were subjected to histological and electron microscopic examination. The investigations revealed cytoplasmic inclusion bodies in the tubular epithelial cells containing round virions of about 30 nm in diameter. Since avian nephritis virus (ANV) is known as a potential causative agent of the so-called baby chick nephropathy, an RT-PCR assay was developed for the molecular detection of ANVspecific nucleic acid in the specimen. The specificity of the assay was confirmed by direct sequencing of the amplicon obtained in the reaction. The nucleotide sequence of the PCR product showed 92% identity with the reference ANV sequence deposited in the GenBank database. After having been validated on some other suspicious cases of avian nephritis, the PCR method described in this study can be a potential tool for routine diagnostic examination of samples submitted from cases of gout and nephropathy in chickens.

“…Although renal adenocarcinomas are uncommon in most species of birds (Campbell, 1969;Siller, 1981), they account for 23% of all neoplasms reported in budgerigars where they are presumably caused by a retrovirus (Gould et ah, 1993). Similarly, high prevalences have been associated with avian erythroblastosis virus (Nogueira et al, 1992) and leukosis virus (Payne & Purchase, 1991).…”
