Abstract
Using growth kinetics we demonstrate two effects based on interactions between the chicken herpesvirus, Marek's disease virus (MDV), and the dependovirus, avian adeno-associated virus (AAAV), in coinfected chicken embryo fibroblasts (CEF): (i) MDV provides helper activity for an efficient multiplication of AAAV; (ii) a high multiplicity of coinfecting AAAV inhibits completely the growth of MDV as well as of AAAV.
