| genome characterization of a novel chicken picornavirus distantly related to the members of genus avihepatovirus with a single 2a protein and a megrivirus-like 3' utr. | the members of the genus avihepatovirus and related picornaviruses ("aalivius") of ducks, turkey and chickens possess identical 2a peptide composition including three functionally unrelated 2a peptides which is a characteristic genome feature of these monophyletic avian picornaviruses. the complete genome of a novel picornavirus provisionally named orivirus a1 (km203656) from a cloacal sample of a 4-week-old diarrheic chicken (gallus gallus domesticus) distantly related to members of genus avihe ... | 2014 | 25445649 |
| chickens host diverse picornaviruses originated from potential interspecies transmission with recombination. | while chickens are an important reservoir for emerging pathogens such as avian influenza viruses, little is known about the diversity of picornaviruses in poultry. we discovered a previously unknown diversity of picornaviruses in chickens in hong kong. picornaviruses were detected in 87 cloacal and 7 tracheal samples from 93 of 900 chickens by reverse transcription-pcr, with their partial 3d(pol) gene sequences forming five distinct clades (i to v) among known picornaviruses. analysis of eight g ... | 2014 | 24906980 |
