YAURIS S., Gabriela; ICOCHEA D'A., Eliana; GONZALEZ V., Rosa e FALCON P., Néstor. Serological evidence of antibodies against laryngotracheitis virus in broilers and layer breeders. Rev. investig. vet. Perú [online]. 2008, vol.19, n.2, pp.183-186. ISSN 1609-9117.
A total of 360 serum samples from eighteen flocks of broiler and layer breeders in phase of production were used in order to detect the presence of Laryngotracheitis virus (VLT) antibodies using a commercial ELISA test. The poultry farms were located in the region of Lima and in the northern coast of Peru. Samples were collected from July 2004 till September 2005 and were processed as a group. Eight samples out of 360 in 6 flocks were positive to antibodies against VLT. Due to the small number of positives and the low level of antibodies was concluded than the 18 breeder flocks did not show serological evidence of exposition to VLT.
