Zusammenfassung: | When mixtures of two clones of the Italy-Milano strain of Newcastle disease virus were inoculated so that one clone was present in quantities 20 times greater than the other, maintenance of that population ratio through six serial passages in 10-day-old embryonating chicken eggs depended on the multiplicity of infection of the first passage. The initial ratio was preserved when the eggs were inoculated at low multiplicity, 101virions inoculated, but not at high multiplicity, 106virions inoculated. In the latter situation, the clear plaque clone, which comprised 1/20 of the initial population of the inoculum, increased in numbers to parity with the red plaque clone after only six serial passages in embryonating eggs. Explanations for the competitive advantage of the clear plaque clone at high multiplicity of infection are discussed. /// Mezclas de dos clonas de la cepa de Newcastle Italia-Milano fueron inoculadas de tal manera que la cantidad de una clona era 20 veces mayor que la otra. El mantenimiento de esta proporción durante seis pasajes consecutivos en embriones de pollo de 10 días dependió de la multiplicidad de infección del primer pasaje. Se conservó la proporción inicial cuando los embriones fueron inoculados a una baja multiplicidad de infección (101partículas virales), pero no a una alta multiplicidad (106partículas virales). En este último caso, la clona de placas rojas que constaba de 1/20 de la población inicial del inóculo, se incrementó hasta igualar la cantidad de la clona de placas incoloras después de solamente seis pasajes consecutivos en embriones de pollo. Se discute la ventaja competitiva de la clona de placas rojas en alta multiplicidad de infección. |
