The avian leukosis virus subgroup K (ALV-K), a novel subgroup in Chinese indigenous chicken breeds, has been difficult to isolate in the past due to its poor replication ability. However, according to the latest monitoring data, the replication ability and isolation rate of ALV-K have clearly increased, and new strains with mutations in the pol gene have also been found. To determine the effects of such mutations...
