The Reaseheath R line of chickens was highly resistant to MH2 virus, and tests on crosses between this line and the susceptible Reaseheath W line were consistent with the hypothesis that a single autosomal recessive gene controls resistance to MH2 virus. %U https://www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/journal/jgv/10.1099/0022-1317-7-3-177
