Sažetak
Hydropericardium syndrome (HPS) is an emerging disease of broiler chickens. For diagnosis of the disease agar gel immunodiffusion (AGID) and counter immuno-electrophoresis (CIE) were found useful. Fifty percent liver homogenate from affected chickens showed AGID titre of 3.2±0.2 log2 and CIE titre of 4.0±0.0 log2 with HPS antiserum. The causative virus became adapted in VERO cell line after four blind passages and after 96 hours produced appreciable cytopathogenic effects (CPE) characteristic of an adenovirus. Immunoperoxidase test (IPT) was carried out on coverslip cultures. Infected coverslips treated with HPS antiserum showed IPT positive reaction but the reaction was negative when coverslips were treated with Newcastle disease virus antiserum or Infectious bursal virus antiserum. Aetiology of HPS is discussed.
