molecular characterization and expression of the s3 gene of muscovy duck reovirus strain 89026.	although reovirus infection is one of the major virus diseases of muscovy ducks in france, no vaccine is available and nothing is known about the structure and function of the genes and proteins of the reovirus involved. the complete s3 genome segment of the muscovy duck reovirus strain 89026 has been cloned and the nucleotide and deduced amino acid sequences are reported here. the s3 genome segment is 1201 bp long and possesses the same terminal motifs (5' gcttttt and tattcatc 3') as the s3 gen ...	1999	9934702
muscovy duck reovirus sigmac protein is atypically encoded by the smallest genome segment.	although muscovy duck reovirus (drv) shares properties with the reovirus isolated from chicken, commonly named avian reovirus (arv), the two virus species are antigenically different. similar to the drv sigmab-encoded gene (1201 bp long) previously identified, the three other double-stranded rna small genome segments of drv have been cloned and sequenced. they were 1325, 1191 and 1124 bp long, respectively, and contained conserved terminal sequences common to arvs. they coded for single expressi ...	2002	11961275
baculovirus-expressed muscovy duck reovirus sigmac protein induces serum neutralizing antibodies and protection against challenge.	recombinant baculoviruses with sigmac- or sigmab-encoding gene from muscovy duck reovirus (drv) were constructed. western-blot analysis showed that sigmac was more immunoreactive than sigmab. vaccination of spf ducks with two injections, 3 weeks apart, of emulsions containing sigmac or sigmac + sigmab elicited drv-specific neutralizing antibodies. following challenge, vaccination partially--or even totally in some cases--prevented the appearance of clinical symptoms. moreover, immunization reduc ...	2002	12163262
