Seven chicken infectious anemia virus (CIAV) isolates were obtained from seven broiler flocks with poor performance in two states of Brazil. All isolates induced thymus atrophy, bone-marrow aplasia, and low hematocrit values when inoculated into 1-day-old susceptible chicks. The CIAV isolates were resistant to treatment with chloroform and were able to pass through 50-nm-pore-size filters. CIAV-specific antigens could be demonstrate in tissues of experimentally infected chicks using a monoclonal antibody specific for CIAV These characteristics of the virus and the virus-induced lesions demonstrate that CIAV is present in Brazil and that the virus is associated with production problems.
