Clinical description:
The degree of visceral tumor involvement in Marek's disease varies by virus strain and the genetic line of chicken. In this image the spleen, bursa, and thymus of 3 chickens infected with different strains of MD is shown. A normal control is shown on top for comparison. Note that the more virulent strain, presented on the bottom row, was associated with a greater degree of bursal and thymic atrophy.
