Justus-Liebig-University Giessen Reports Findings in Marek Disease [Marek's Disease in a Flock of Japanese Quails (Coturnix japonica) in Germany].

A recent study conducted at Justus-Liebig-University Giessen in Germany investigated Marek's Disease in a flock of Japanese quails. The research found that the quails exhibited symptoms such as diarrhea, emaciation, and ocular lesions, with postmortem examinations revealing malignant lymphoma caused by Marek's disease. The study implemented a control strategy involving vaccination, which successfully returned the losses and laying rates to normal. This peer-reviewed research provides valuable insights into managing Marek's Disease in quails and was published in Avian Diseases. [Extracted from the article]
