Title: ASSOCIATION OF FOWL ADENOVIRUS SEROTYPE 12 WITH HYDROPERICARDIUM SYNDROME OF POULTRY IN INDIA
Author: S. RAHUL, J.M. KATARIA, N.SENTHILKUMAR, K. DHAMA, S.A. SYLVESTER, R. UMA

Abstract: Eight fowl adenovirus (FAdV) isolates obtained from different geographical regions of India were typed by a virus-neutralization test (VNT) using rabbit antisera against all the 12 serotypes of FAdV and by PCR for the hyper-variable region of hexon gene combined with restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) analysis using AluI and MboI restriction enzymes. It was found that six isolates belonged to FAdV-4, one to FAdV-12 and one to both of them. This study revealed the involvement of FAdV-12 alone or in association with FAdV-4 in precipitating inclusion body hepatitis - hydropericardium syndrome (IBH-HPS) among poultry flocks in the country.
