Full genome sequencing, evolutionary dynamics, and pathogenicity evaluation of chicken infectious anemia virus with emphasis on Upper Egypt reveals genetic variability linked to vaccinal strains.

Abstract excerpt

Despite intensive vaccination efforts, Chicken Infectious Anemia Virus (CIAV) remains a formidable threat to the Egyptian poultry industry, primarily through the emergence of vaccine-escape variants. While most studies have focused on Northern Egypt, there is a critical knowledge gap regarding the viral landscape in the Southern provinces. This study provides the most extensive surveillance to date, spanning 10...
