Impact of Avian Viruses 2007-05-09 .txt text/plain 14076 696 46 Although there is variation in the economic or ecological impact of various viral groups from year to year and among geographic sites, the "Top Ten" list of virus groups exhibiting routine significant impact on commercial poultry worldwide (not necessarily in order of impact) are paramyxoviruses (Newcastle disease); coronaviruses (infectious bronchitis); herpesviruses (infectious laryngotracheitis; Marek's disease; duck enteritis); reoviruses (viral arthritis); picornaviruses (avian encephalomyelitis); adenoviruses (egg drop syndrome); retroviruses (lymphoid leukosis); orthomyxoviruses (avian influenza); poxviruses (fowlpox); and birnaviruses (infectious bursal disease). With the recent documented transmission of a lethal avian influenza virus from commercial poultry to humans, these ecological relationships take on new significance. Lymphomas caused by MDV and retroviruses are still the most common viral neoplastic diseases of poultry, and a recent increase in mortality and evolution of more virulent MDV strains indicates that the impact of these viruses will continue to be felt (Witter, 1996) . ./cache/cord-021465-2pj26fmv.txt ./txt/cord-021465-2pj26fmv.txt
