  1. Samples from specific-pathogen-free (SPFB) and commercial (CB) broilers orally infected with a virulent FAdV-1 were investigated at 3, 7, 10, 14 and 17 days post infection (dpi) by virus isolation (VI) and/or real-time PCR.
  2. a No. of positive samples/no. of tested samples.
  3. b NE – not examined.
