Mareks Disease in chickens
Glenda Heywood
Basically mareks is caused by some great shock to the system
such as high heat or low cold temps or some animal attacking the flock
so may be they got the mareks from some thing like that
(1 The Virus now spreads throughout the blood stream through the infected White Blood Cells. The Mareks Virus will spread to various other organs at this time as well as the feather follicle epithelial ( surface ) cells where the Virus will divide and form cell free extremely infectious Virus Particles. The birds then shed the Virus from their bodies in the form of dander. This dander is highly infective and when susceptible birds breathe in the Virus particles contained in the dander,infection will take place as earlier described.
(2 It is important to keep in mind that birds that have been infected are shedding this virus at a very heavy rate from their follicles and it would be of value to keep feathers about your coop cleaned up.
Regular spraying with oxine will go a long way in keeping this disease as well as other diseases under control
oxine can be got from
