Sažetak

Marek’s disease (MD) is the most common worldwide lymphoproliferative disease of chickens caused by the alpha herpes virus (genus Mardivirus). The disease is characterized by infiltration of the nerves and other organs with pleomorphic lymphocytes. Clinical and gross findings most frequently occur between 12 and 24 weeks of age and are classified into four syndromes (neurolymphomatosis, acute MD, ocular lymphomatosis, cutaneous MD). In this article the macroscopical and histopathological signs of acute MD in fowl necropsied at the Department of Veterinary Pathology of the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, University of Zagreb, are presented.
