| Summary |
The immunoperoxidase staining techinques (direct and indirect) were applied
to detect AI (avian influenza), ND (Newcastle disease) and AE (avian encephalomyelitis) virus antigens in formalin fixed , paraffin-embedded section of experimentally and naturally infected chickens. The immunoperoxidase staining technique (IP) was compared with histopathological examination and virus isolation for detection of AI, ND and AE virus in tissues of infected chickens. It is concluded that the IP techinque is a good and specific supplementary diagnosis method for viral infection of avian diseases.
