Abstract
EDS-76 virus isolate (EDSV-IVRI/AD-86) did not produce any marked clin ical signs or gross lesions in susceptible orally infected chicken but caused severe damage in the uterus with production of soft-shelled cr acked eggs of poor albumen quality. Virus specific immunofluorescence was observed in spleen, uterus. and vagina of the infected layers. The virus upon oral inoculation was excreted through cloaca for 6 days po st-infection (DPI) and induced HI antibody (2(3)-2(6)) after 9 to 10 D PI.
