Abstract

The prevalence, clinical and pathological manifestations and extent of mortality due to Marek’s disease (MD) was investigated from November 2003 to January 2004 among indigenous chickens of Ethiopia reared under confined management at the Debre Zeit Agricultural Research Center, central Ethiopia. Clinical signs, mortalities, gross and microscopic examinations as well as virological and serological test results were used for the study. Data from 503 local chickens (28 Jarso, 84 Konso, 88 Tepi, 151 Tilili and 148 Horro) were analyzed.
