Boot-like appearance of long bones in chicken is characteristic of the disease?

(C) Chicken infectious anaemia
(D) None of the above

ANSWER

(B) Lymphoid leukosis

A boot-like enlargement or deformity of long bones has been described in lymphoid leukosis-related skeletal involvement in the terminology used for this question.
