| multiple gene typing and phylogeny of avipoxvirus associated with cutaneous lesions in a stone curlew. | avipoxvirus (apv) infections have been observed in a wide variety of wild, captive and domestic avian hosts, recently including a range of island endemic and endangered species. however, not enough is known about genome diversity and phylogenetic relationships of apvs, as well as their host-range specificity. a wild stone curlew (burhinus oedicnemus) was recovered in sardinia (italy), showing large wart-like lesions and nodules on both legs and toes, which resulted positive to poxvirus by pcr. h ... | 2017 | 28054222 |
