Abstract excerpt
The main aim of the present study were to investigate sequence diversity in the Meq gene of Marek's disease viruses (MDV) isolated in China and to determine the most prevalent MDV strains. The 19 MDV strains were isolated from dead or diseased chickens from different chicken farms in China during 2006-2008, and the Meq gene was sequenced from each of these strains. Sequence analysis showed that all of the...
