Detection of and phylogenetic studies with avian metapneumovirus recovered from feral pigeons and wild birds in Brazil
21 Jul 2011
Abstract excerpt
The aim of the present study was to determine whether avian metapneumovirus (aMPV)-related viruses were present in wild and synanthropic birds in Brazil. Therefore, we analysed samples from wild birds, feral pigeons and domestic chickens in order to perform a phylogenetic comparison. To detect the presence of aMPV, a nested reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction was performed with the aim of amplifying a...
