Molecular detection and characterization of reticuloendotheliosis virus in broiler breeder chickens with visceral tumors in Egypt

In the present study, reticuloendotheliosis (REV) provirus DNA was detected by PCR using LTR (long terminal repeat)-specific primers to amplify 200 bp fragment of the REV viral genome in tumor samples collected from broiler breeder flocks with 30–40 weeks of age demonstrating neoplastic lesions. His...
