Abstract excerpt
Disease caused by Marek's disease virus (MDV), a highly oncogenic alpha-herpesvirus, is controlled mainly by vaccination. Since 1990s, CVI988 has been widely used as vaccine strain. However, as an attenuated live vaccine, CVI988 has the potential of virulence enhancement and the risk of recombination that should be considered. In this study, we sequenced the whole genome of a Chinese strain HNLC503 and found the...
