embryo
Clinical description:
This chicken embryo was inoculated with laryngotracheitis virus. Opaque plaques have formed on the chorioallantoic membrane (CAM). These plaques result from necrosis and proliferative tissue reactions. After inoculation of the embryo with laryngotracheitis virus, these plaques can be observed as early as 2 days post inoculation and the embryos may die within 2 to 12 days. The lesions associated with viral replication can be confirmed by performing histopathology of the CAM. This test is performed in the laboratory for viral replication purposes.
