Genetic and pathogenic characterisation of 11 avian reovirus isolates from northern China suggests continued evolution of virulence
18 Oct 2016
Abstract excerpt
Avian reovirus (ARV) infections characterised by severe arthritis, tenosynovitis, pericarditis, and depressed growth have become increasingly frequent in recent years. In this study, we isolated and identified 11 ARV field strains from chickens with viral arthritis and reduced growth in northern China. Comparative analysis of the σC nucleotide and amino acid sequences demonstrated that all isolates, except LN05...
