Isolation and Some Characteristics of an Agent Inducing Anemia in Chicks
Abstract
SUMMARY A transmissible agent inducing anemia in chicks (chicken anemia agent; CAA) was isolated in specific-pathogen-free chicks from chickens in the field. Chicks were inoculated intramuscularly with CAA (about 1040 CID5o/chick) at 1 day old. By 14 days postinoculation they had severe anemia, with a hematocrit value below 20%, a red-blood-cell count below 1,000,000/mm3, and a white-blood-cell count below 5,000/mm3. Morbidity was 100%, and mortality reached about 50% by 28 days postinoculation. Gross lesions found in the affected chicks were watery blood, yellow to white bone marrow, marked atrophy of the thymus and bursa of Fabricius, swelling and discoloration of the liver, and sometimes hemorrhage throughout the body. CAA was resistant to treatment with chloroform or ether, and to heating at 80 C for 15 minutes. It passed through a membrane filter of 25-nm pore size. It produced no cytopathic effect in chicken kidney cell cultures or had no fatal effect on embryonating chicken eggs. Specific antibody was produced in chickens inoculated with CAA. These findings suggest that CAA may be a new viruslike agent

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
