The genome sequence of Pavonine herpesvirus 1, a novel <i>Mardivirus</i> infecting peafowl
2026-02-17
Abstract excerpt
Avian alphaherpesviruses of the genus Mardivirus include several economically important pathogens, such as the tumour-causing Marek’s disease virus (MDV-1) of chickens. However, the diversity of related viruses in wild and non-model avian hosts remains poorly characterised. Here, we describe the genome of Pavonine herpesvirus 1 (PaHv1), a novel Mardivirus infecting peafowl ( Pavo spp.). Through de novo assembly...
