Abstract: (En)
Ostrich Fading Syndrome (OFS) is a newly recognized disease entity that occurred in ostrich chicks in Australia in February 1995. The syndrome consisted of wasting in chicks up to six months of age and usually ended in death. As part of a previous intensive investigation to determine the cause of the syndrome a retrovirus was isolated from small intestine and leukocyte explant cultures of affected birds. RIRDC has funded a project designed to attempt to reproduce OFS using this retrovirus. From the result
rch on OFS will require the development of a sensitive and quicker diagnostic test to identify ostriches infected with this virus. This project was designed to assist in developing a polymerase chain reaction (PCR) diagnostic test for the virus. This to
