Avian leukosis virus (ALV) and reticuloendotheliosis virus (REV) are the most common naturally occurring avian retroviruses associated with neoplastic disease conditions in domesticated poultry. Avian leukosis virus infects primarily chickens, whereas REV infects chickens, turkeys, and other avian species. In addition to causing tumors, both ALV and REV can reduce productivity and induce immunosuppression and other production problems in affected flocks.
禽白血病病毒(ALV)和网状内皮组织增生症病毒(REV)是与家养禽类肿瘤性疾病相关的最常见自然发生的禽逆转录病毒。禽白血病病毒主要感染鸡,而网状内皮组织增生症病毒感染鸡、火鸡和其他禽类。除了引发肿瘤外,禽白血病病毒和网状内皮组织增生症病毒都可降低生产力,并在受感染鸡群中诱发免疫抑制和其他生产问题。
