Birds showed signs like opacification of cornea, tremor, leg weakness, reduced feed and water intake, drop in egg production and death. Twenty two out of 50 serum samples showed increased antibody titres for avian encephalomyelitis virus.The affected birds did not show any gross lesions at necropsy.
