The intention of the series Developments in Veterinary Virology is
to provide monographs dealing with the major animal viral diseases.
Each volume will include the latest achievements in fundamental
research and practical applications and should be readable for
people from various disciplines and different backgrounds. The
multi-author approach provides the best opportunity to keep each
chapter at the highest level and makes the composition of the
volumes manageable to the editors. This monograph on Avian Leukosis
presents comprehensive reviews on the recent history of avian
retrovirus research, on epizootiological, virological, pathological
aspects, on tumor induction, the immune response to avian retro
viruses, virus-cell interactions and on techniques for diagnosis.
The volume deals mainly with exogenous avian leukosis virus (ALV)
infections, but one chapter is entirely devoted to endogenous avian
leukemia virus. Molecular biology aspects are confined to various
oncogenes and to lymphoma induction since retroviruses, including
those specific for avian species, have recently been described in
detail in the Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory series "Molecular
Biology of Tumor Viruses." Two chapters are devoted to the
practical application of insights obtained from avian leukosis
research: influences of AL V infection on production performance
and eradication procedures."
