Abstract

A viral disease of Muscovy ducks characterised by necrotic focus formation in the liver, spleen and kidneys is reported. The causal agent, grown in embryonated Muscovy duck eggs and embryo fibroblasts, was examined by electron microscopy and showed close morphological relationship to the Reoviridae. The isolate caused syncytial formation in tissue culture and failed to haemagglutinate.
