In a trial to isolate the ILT virus from chickens in Sharkia Governorate; Egypt. Twelve flocks with no history of vaccination against ILTV were examined. These flocks were suffering from respiratory signs including dyspnea, gasping, coughing, conjunctivitis and expectoration of mucus admixed with blood. Eight field ILTV isolates showed fine pocks on chorio all antince membrane (CAMS) of embryonated chicken eggs (BCE) beside dwarfing of the inoculated embryos. These field virus isolates were identified by AGPT, VNT. Histopathological findings revealed the characteristic oesinophilic intranuclear inclusion bodies in infected CAM in addition to hyperplastic lymphoid aggregation in the epithelium of trachea.
