Adenovirus, the causative agent of Egg Drop Syndrome, has become a major cause of lost egg production throughout the world. The disease is characterized by the production of thin-shelled or shell-less eggs by otherwise healthy birds.

Once established in a breeding organization, the condition more often is seen as a failure to achieve production targets, and eggshell changes are less apparent.

Since its initial recognition, it has become apparent that sporadic outbreaks of EDS occur as a result of fowl becoming infected through direct or indirect contact with infected wild or domestic waterfowl.
