Abstract

Abstract The present invention provides a recombinant herpesvirus of turkeys designated S-HVT-050 (ATCC Accession No. VR 2400). A vaccine is provided which comprises an effective immunizing amount of S-HVT-050 and a suitable carrier. A method of immunizing a fowl against disease caused by Marek's disease virus and Newcastle disease virus is also provided which comprises administering to the fowl an effective immunizing dose of the vaccine of the present invention.
