nearly full-length genome sequence of a novel astrovirus isolated from chickens with 'white chicks' condition. | avian astroviruses (aastvs) are divided into three species, avastrovirus 1, avastrovirus 2, and avastrovirus 3, but there are a few strains are waiting to be assigned to an official taxonomic group. this study presents the molecular characterization of chicken astrovirus (castv), pl/g059/2014, which is involved in the induction of "white chicks" condition. the 7382-nucleotide-long genome sequence was determined by next-generation sequencing using an illumina miseq system. phylogenetic analysis s ... | 2016 | 27339687 |
genetic characterization of a new astrovirus in goslings suffering from gout. | since early 2016, the chinese goose industry has experienced severe outbreaks of gout; however, the etiological factor of the disease is still unclear. here, we investigated the possible involvement of viral infection in the disease. using sequence-independent pcr amplification, astrovirus sequences were generated from a gout case. full-length genomic sequencing and sequence analysis of three goose astrovirus (goastv) strains revealed that they belong to a new avastrovirus most closely related t ... | 2018 | 29980852 |
