Abstract: | An avian adenovirus-specific polymerase chain reaction was developed. The origin of primers was from the DNA sequence data of the chicken embryo lethal orphan avian adenovirus virus genome. An avian adenovirus-specific 421-bp DNA product was amplified by these primers from group I of adenovirus containing 12 serotypes and serotypes of adenovirus from group II and group III. The adenovirus-specific DNA product was also amplified from the 19 field isolates of avian adenoviruses but not from the mammalian adenovirus and other avian pathogenic viruses and bacteria. As little as 1 fg of avian adenovirus DNA was detected by gel electrophoresis and Southern blot analysis. |
