[Avian leukosis: an old problem in a new coat: diagnostic possibilities and limitations]
Abstract
Current problems in parent broiler chickens caused by the new avian leukosis virus subgroup J are described. The possibilities and limitations of diagnosing avian leukosis, and in particular that caused by the J subgroup virus, are reviewed and the eradication of the disease is discussed.
