[The occurrence of virus enteritis (duck plague) in wild birds].

296 samples from wild birds of 15 species were incorporated into long term exploration of duck plague on ducks in farms. By using virological and serological standard methods 9 virus carriers and 20 serum samples showing positive antibody titers could be detected. The epidemiology as well as the relation of the incidence of duck plague in wild birds and farm poultry is discussed.
