[ Method] Larynx, trachea, liver and other organs were collected from infectious laryngotracheitis (ILT)-suspected layers. And ILTV TK gene was amplified from these specimens by PCR for initial diagnosis. Virus fluid was isolated and inoculated into SPF chicken embryos via allantoic cavity and chorioallantoic membrane (CAM), respectively. Hyaluronic acid in allantoic fluid was detected, and CAM lesions were observed. The definite diagnosis was performed through animal regression test. [Result] A 1.3 kbp fragment was amplified from larynx and its secretion of the ILT-suspected chickens. And its amino acid sequence had 98.5% homology to that of ILTV TKgene published in GenBank. After the chicken embryos were inoculated with the isolated ILFV fluid, pox spots, giant polynuclear syncytial cells having intranuclear inclusion bodies were observed in CAM. After being challenged by the IL TV fluid, the chickens showed typical respiratory symptoms and pathological changes of ILT. [Coudusion] A field strain named ILTV XZ09 was isolated from larynx and its secretion of ILT-suspected chickens.展开更多
