“…Resistance to ether and/or chloroform, inactivation by RNase but not by DNase, resistance to heat, divalent cationic (heat) stabilisation, acid resistance, resistance to inhibition by IUDR, green cytoplasmic staining by acridine orange, and/or the appearance of cytoplasmic inclusion bodies and/or syncytia by histological examination of infected cell cultures were reported (Olson and Kerr, 1966;Taylor et al, 1966;Ahne et al, 1974;van der Heide andKalbac, 1975;Rossie?al, 1969;Glassetai, 1973;Bottino etal, 1975;Carboni etal, 1975).…”

“…However, these workers still believed the agent to be a mycoplasma at the time. The "viral arthritis agent", as it was later named by Olson and Kerr (1966), was first thought to be a poxvirus by these authors but was subsequently identified as a reovirus by Walker et al (1972). In addition to causing arthritis/tenosynovitis, avian reovirus infections have been found to cause enteric disease in chickens and turkeys.…”

A review if presented of viral arthritis/tenosynovitis, one of the clinical manifestations of avian reovirus infection in chickens. Since the detection of a viral etiology of arthritis/tenosynovitis in 1957, the disease has been reported in various parts of the world. Pathological features of the disease include inflammatory lesions in the extensor and flexor tendons and tendon sheaths of the posterior limbs and in the tibiotarsal joints. Hepatitis, myocarditis, hydropericardium, as well as intestinal and respiratory tract involvement are described in association with avian reovirus infection. The epizootiology, horizontal and vertical transmission of reovirus, as well as the role of maternal immunity and its application in breeder vaccination for the control of viral arthritis/tenosynovitis are described.
