Abstract
The DNA of herpes viruses associated with Marek's disease of fowl contains 56-57 moles of guanine and cytosine per 100. The composition of its DNA and lack of infectiousness of cell-free preparations suggest that the herpes virus associated with Marek's disease belongs to the herpes virus group B which contains predominantly cytomegaloviruses.Keywords
