INHERITANCE OF RESISTANCE TO FOWL PARALYSIS (NEUROLYMPHOMATOSIS GALLINARUM): II. ON A SIGNIFICANT DIFFERENCE IN THE INCIDENCE OF FOWL PARALYSIS IN TWO GROUPS OF CHICKS

Abstract

Data are presented on two groups of thirty chicks each, hatched from a susceptible and an apparently resistant flock. There was a significant difference in the incidence of fowl paralysis and lymphomatous tumors in these two groups. This is interpreted to mean that there is an inherent difference in susceptibility and resistance to fowl paralysis and lymphomatous tumors.
