    Abstract:
    In order to evaluate the influence of the vertical transmission of avian leukosis virus (ALV) from J subgroup (ALV-J) positive parents on the vaccine efficacy of Marek's disease virus (MDV), ALV-J positive male breeders × female breeders of Three-yellow chickens and the ALV negative male breeder × the negative female breeders were used respectively for crossbreeding to produce eggs and the hatching offspring. The commercial CVI988/Rispens vaccine was used to vaccinate the crossbred offspring at 1-day-old. At 7-days-old, the birds were inoculated with the inactivated oil-emulsion vaccines (OEVs) AIV-H5 monovalent and NDV + AIV-H9 bivalent, respectively. Then the birds were challenged with a Chinese very virulent (vv) MDV field strain GXY2 at 14-day-old. The results showed that the viral load of the challenged GXY2 in the offspring from the ALV-J positive breeders was significantly higher than that from the ALV-negative breeders' (P < 0.05), and the mortality and tumor incidence of offspring from the ALV-J positive breeders were higher than those of the ALV-negative breeders. Also the offspring of the ALV-J positive breeders exhibited a significant negative effect on the development of the immune organs (P < 0.05) and lower antibody responses to the vaccinations with the commercial OEVs (P<0.05). The MD vaccine protective index in the offspring from the ALV-J positive breeders was lower than that from the ALV-negative breeders. The results of the study demonstrated that the vertical transmission of ALV from the ALV-J positive parents caused severe immunosuppression and significantly reduced the Marek's disease vaccine efficacy in Three-yellow chickens.
