Outbreaks of egg drop syndrome due to EDS-76 virus in quail (Coturnix coturnix japonica)

BB Das and HK Pradhan

Central Avian Research Institute, Izatnagar, India.

Two outbreaks of the egg drop syndrome were observed in quail flocks maintained on a farm together with chickens. The decrease in egg production ranged from 10.6 per cent to 50.6 per cent, and the number of soft-shelled eggs increased with the decline in egg production. In both the outbreaks haemagglutination inhibiting antibodies to EDS-76 virus were detected. Fluorescent viral antigen specific to EDS-76 virus was also detected in the lining epithelial and glandular cells of the uterus.
