RESUMEN
Fowl adenovirus serotype 4 (FAdV-4) strain SD1511 was isolated from chickens with severe inclusion body hepatitis and hydropericardium syndrome in Shandong Province, China. The isolate was cultured in primary chicken embryo kidney cells. A study of pathogenicity indicated that SD1511 readily infected 7–35-d-old chickens by intramuscular injection and intranasal and oral routes, causing 50%–100% mortality. The 35-d-old chickens suffered more severe infection than 7- and 21-d-old chickens with mortality highest in the intramuscular injection group. The serum from surviving chickens showed potent viral neutralizing capability. The complete genome of SD1511 was sequenced and analyzed. The strain was found to belong to the FAdV-4 cluster with more than 99% identity with the virulent FAdV-4 strains isolated in China in recent years except for some distinct variations, including deletions of open reading frame 27 (ORF27), ORF48, and part of ORF19. Our findings suggest that SD1511 might be used as a prototype strain for the study of pathogenesis and vaccine development.

Objective To explore the feasibility of establishing animal model of schistosomiasis through subcutaneous injection of IMDM liquid and intramuscular injection of IMDM liquid both of which contained the cercariae.Methods The mice were infected with schistosome cercariae by three different ways: subcutaneous injection(Group A),intramuscular infection(Group B) and the classical method: skin infection(Group C).Forty-five days post-infection, the mice were sacrified and the adult schistosomes were investigated. The serum IgG antibodies were detected by indirect ELISA in 15 and 45 days after infection. Results The recovery adult worm rates were 39.2% in Group A,32.3% in Group B and 72.8% in Group C,and there was a significant difference among them (P
