Marek's disease

Japanese: マレック病 - マレックびょう(英語表記)Marek's disease
Marek's disease
A chicken disease caused by herpesvirus group B. There are two types: typical Marek's disease and acute Marek's disease. The former generally takes a long time to develop, with early symptoms beginning with paralysis of the legs and wings, followed by weight loss, paleness of exposed skin, and diarrhea as the disease progresses. Autopsy reveals swelling of the peripheral nerves (neurological type) and lymphoid tumors in the internal organs (visceral type). The latter occurred in a mass outbreak in 1.5-2 month old broilers in the United States and the United Kingdom in 1957, and autopsy findings showed nerve lesions as well as a high incidence of lymphoid tumors, especially in the gonads. There is no cure, and passive quarantine methods are used, such as early detection and early culling.
