Abstract

[Extract] Avian herpesviruses comprise a wide variety of pathogens and may infect a variety of hosts, having a propensity to infect epithelial cells, lymphatic tissue and nervous tissue. In natural hosts, herpesvirus disease is often mild; however cross-species infection may result in severe and fatal disease (Kaleta and Doherty, 2007). Herpesvirus sub-families include alpha-, beta- and gamma-herpesviruses. Alpha-herpesviruses are associated with rapid vi- ral replication, the ability to cause host cell lysis, and the capacity to establish latent infections (Ritchie and Carter, 1995; Lazic et al., 2008). Alpha-herpesviruses of the genus Iltovirus have been documented to cause respiratory disease in birds.
