Systematic Veterinary Virology

FIELD DIAGNOSIS

• Based on high morbidity and mortality, high fever, diarrhoea. Kidney and lymph node lesions will help in field diagnosis.

Clinical materials

• Tonsils, lymph nodes (pharyngeal, mesenteric), spleen, kidney, distal part of ileum and blood in EDTA (live cases) are the ideal materials for isolation and identification of viruses. These materials should be kept under refrigeration and shipped to laboratory as quickly as possible.
