A phylogenomic analysis of Marek's disease virus reveals independent paths to virulence in Eurasia and North America

18 Jul 2017

Abstract excerpt

Abstract Virulence determines the impact a pathogen has on the fitness of its host, yet current understanding of the evolutionary origins and causes of virulence of many pathogens is surprisingly incomplete. Here, we explore the evolution of Marek's disease virus (MDV), a herpesvirus commonly afflicting chickens and rarely other avian species. The history of MDV in the 20th century represents an important case...
