Clinical signs are dependent on the age of the bird. Chicks develop clinical signs within two weeks of hatching if infected via vertical transmission. Chicks older than 14 days old do not show any clinical signs if infected via horizontal transmission.

*Vertically as chicks hatch from infected layers of naive flocks over a period of 3 to 6 weeks. After this period the breeder layers develop sufficient CAV antibodies to stop the transmission of the virus to the egg.    Clinical signs are seen in 10-14 day old chicks.

Post mortem findings include:
  −
*severe atrophy of the lymphoid organs. The thymus, bursa of Fabricius, and to a lesser extent the spleen are all affected by a depletion of lymphocytes and sequential hyperplasia of reticular cells. Common finding include haemorrhages throughout the skeletal muscle and subcutaneous tissue and pale watery bone marrow. Severe aplasia of the bone marrow occurs and haematopoietic cells are replaced with adipose tissue, giving the bone marrow its watery texture and characteristic change in colour from red to yellow.

−
Vertical spread is controlled by the vaccination of breeding hens with both live attenuated and wild vaccines that reduces the vertical transmission rate.  
+
Vaccination of breeding hens with both live attenuated and wild vaccines reduces the vertical transmission rate.  
    
Wild type vaccines are cheaper but can increase horizontal transmission rates and hidden reduction in production of older birds.
