Abstract excerpt
Riemerella anatipestifer (R. anatipestifer) causes severe perihepatitis, pericarditis, airsacculitis and meningitis in the duck, leading to great economic losses worldwide. Given the increased prevalence of drug-resistance strains, vaccination is the best strategy to prevent R. anatipestifer infection in ducklings. In this study, we identified a gene in R. anatipestifer (B739-2187) that can restore the resistance...
