In a study of outbreaks of Marek's disease in quails, 220 adult quails vaccinated with herpesvirus of turkeys (HVT) were examined pathologically and serologically for Marek's disease (MD). Forty-three of the 220 quails exhibited microscopic lesions similar to those of chickens with MD. MD-virus-specific antigen was found in feather tips of 44 of the 220 birds, and the HVT-specific antibody was found in sera of 56 of the 220 birds by agar gel precipitation. There was a positive correlation between the incidence of lymphomatous changes and the presence of MD-virus-specific antigen, and there was a negative correlation between the incidence of lymphomatous changes and the presence of antibody against HVT on a flock basis.
在一项关于鹌鹑马立克氏病暴发的研究中，对220只接种火鸡疱疹病毒（HVT）的成年鹌鹑进行了马立克氏病（MD）的病理学和血清学检查。220只鹌鹑中有43只表现出与患MD的鸡相似的微观病变。通过琼脂凝胶沉淀法，在220只鸟中的44只的羽毛尖端发现了MD病毒特异性抗原，在220只鸟中的56只的血清中发现了HVT特异性抗体。在群体水平上，淋巴瘤样变化的发生率与MD病毒特异性抗原的存在呈正相关，而淋巴瘤样变化的发生率与抗HVT抗体的存在呈负相关。
