Phylodynamic reconstruction of major chicken infectious anemia virus clades epidemiology, dispersal, and evolution

Abstract excerpt

Introduction: Immunosuppressive diseases, such as chicken infectious anemia virus (CIAV), pose a major threat to livestock farming due to reduced disease resistance, poor vaccine response, and overall poor productivity. CIAV, recognized globally for decades, shows a significant genetic diversity, but its implications remain underexplored. Methods: This study analyzed over 1,000 VP1 sequences and examined CIAV's...
