Abstract excerpt
Avian orthoreovirus (ARV) imposes substantial economic losses on the global poultry industry, primarily through runting-stunting syndrome and viral arthritis. Despite its global prevalence, the molecular epidemiology and pathogenic landscape of ARV strains circulating in Upper Egypt remain largely unexplored. This study investigated the molecular characteristics, phylogenetic relationships, and pathogenic...
