Abstract excerpt
To determine the genomic variations of fowlpox virus (FPV)-the largest, very ancient, and still harmful avian virus-the complete genomes of 21 FPVs were analyzed. The genomes showed low genetic diversity relative to their overall size. Our studies revealed that FPVs could phylogenetically be divided into two clades, based on their regional distribution, and comparative analysis showed that 40 putative proteins of...
