Day-old chicks were susceptible to pigeon herpes encephalomyelitis virus (PHEV) by intracerebral (i/c) inoculation. Infected birds developed neurologic signs starting from 2 to 15 days post-infection, and 85% died. The virus was recovered from the brains of diseased chicks in titers ranging between 104 and 105.5 EID 50/0.2 ml. Inoculated birds shed the virus in their droppings throughout the 2 weeks observation period. Day-old chicks given the virus by the intranasal (i/n) or oral routes did not develop any specific signs but shed the virus also in their droppings throughout the observation period. Ducklings and goslings inoculated intravenously (i/v), i/n or orally were resistant. Day-old chicks and ducklings, goslings and quails inoculated by different routes with pigeon herpesvirus (PHV) did not show respiratory or nervous signs.
一日龄雏鸡经脑内接种易感染鸽疱疹性脑脊髓炎病毒（PHEV）。感染的鸡在感染后2至15天开始出现神经症状，85%死亡。从患病雏鸡的脑中分离出病毒，滴度在104至105.5 EID 50/0.2 ml之间。在整个2周的观察期内，接种的鸡通过粪便排出病毒。经鼻内（i/n）或口服途径给予病毒的一日龄雏鸡未出现任何特定症状，但在整个观察期内也通过粪便排出病毒。静脉内（i/v）、鼻内或口服接种的雏鸭和雏鹅具有抵抗力。通过不同途径用鸽疱疹病毒（PHV）接种的一日龄雏鸡、雏鸭、雏鹅和鹌鹑未表现出呼吸道或神经症状。
