    abstract = {To investigate the Reticuloendotheliosis virus infection status 
  in large-scale breeder chicken farms of China, 563 serum samples from 4 great-grandparents 
  breeder farms, 6557 serum samples from 8 grandparents breeder farms, 312 serum 
  samples from parents breeder farms, totally 7432 serum samples were collected 
  and examined using the Reticuloendotheliosis Virus Antibody Test kit. The results 
  showed that REV-antibody positive rates of great-grandparents breeder flocks, 
  grandparent breeder flocks and parents breeder flocks were 0-31, 0-47 and 4.23-42.50%, 
  respectively. REV-antibody positive rate has close relationship with incidence 
  of REV infection history and tumor complaints. This study suggests that REV 
  infection is very common in China large-scale breeder chicken farms and the 
  prevention of REV should be given more attention this is the largest scale serological 
  survey for breeder chickens in China so far.}
