    Author: Hoop RK, Guscetti F, Keller B.
    Journal: Schweiz Arch Tierheilkd; 1992; 134(10):485-9. PubMed ID: 1470902.
    Abstract:
    An outbreak of infectious anaemia in 46 broiler flocks due to chicken anaemia agent (CAA) is described. The vertically acquired infection led to increased mortality (3.6-19.8%) in 16 to 24 day-old broiler chickens. At necropsy severe atrophy of thymus and anaemia with pale bone marrow was observed. The histologic findings were depletion of cortical thymocytes and of hematopoietic cells in the bone marrow. The CAA was isolated from 15 of 35 examined broiler flocks.
