ABSTRACT
Marek’s Disease (MD) is caused by a highly contagious cell associated oncogenic herpes virus. This work on Marek’s disease covers the most important topics of a disease which is causing major problems in several countries around the world. There are several vaccination programs available to reduce the damage, but highly virulent strains may break through the protection. Research should be looking for new improved vaccines to try to stay ahead regarding the ever-changing field virus, but one should not rely solely on vaccination in the future. Genetic resistance, a greater understanding of the virus and the immune system of the fowl should be the cornerstone of Marek’s disease prevention.
