Abstract excerpt
Despite of effective control by vaccination, Marek's disease virus (MDV) remains a significant threat to poultry health and productivity due to continued virus evolution, which drives the need to better understand host genetic factors underlying the resistance and susceptibility. Although great efforts have been made toward understanding the genetic resistance to MD, the genetic variations underlying varied...
