Experimental transmission of reticuloendotheliosis (RE) in 1 day old specific pathogen-free (SPF) chickens was achieved by i.p. inoculation of cell-associated and cell-free RE virus (REV). REV-inoculated chickens exhibited an immumne response throughout the entire observation period. Viremia persisted for 5-6 mo. in chickens hatched from REV-inoculated SPF embryonated eggs. The natural occurrence of RE was detected in certain turkey flocks.
