Table 4. Clinical, pathological and virological responses in chickens inoculated with LP VN/1203/K or LP VN/1203/E and monitored for 14 days piA.

Virus Clinical IHC: No Pos/TotalB , C Histopathology: No with Lesions/TotalC HI
Disease Skin Brain Skin Brain Pancreas Total Antibodies
K 0/6a 0/6a 0/6a 1/6a 0/6a 0/6a 1/6a 5/6
E 3/6a, D 4/6a 3/6a 6/6b 5/6b 4/6a 6/6b 6/6
A

Birds were euthanized at 14 days pi unless otherwise noted.

B

IHC = Immunohistochemistry. Positive samples had sparse antigen in the different organs ( = score of 1).

C

Values within a column with a different superscript minor case letter are significantly different at p<0.05 (two-tailed Fisher's exact test).

D

Three of the six birds infected with LP VN/1203/E developed ataxia and torticollis and were euthanased, one at 8 days pi and two at 13 days pi.
