The results showed that among 2530 sera samples 118 samples were positive for ALV-A/B, 332 samples were positive for ALV-J and 35 samples were positive for both ALV-A/B and ALV-J. The positive rate for ALV-A/B, ALV-J and their co-infection was 0-16.67, 0-59.60 and 0-5.05%, respectively. This investigation suggests that the infection of ALV-A/B, ALV-J and their co-infection do exist or even very popular in some native chickens flocks in China and the prevention of ALV should be given more attention.
