| phylogenetic and pathogenic characterization of novel adenoviruses isolated from long-tailed ducks (clangula hyemalis). | novel adenoviruses were isolated from a long-tailed duck (clangula hyemalis) mortality event near prudhoe bay, alaska in 2000. the long-tailed duck adenovirus genome was approximately 27 kb. a 907 bp hexon gene segment was used to design primers specific for the long-tailed duck adenovirus. nineteen isolates were phylogenetically characterized based on portions of their hexon gene and 12 were most closely related to goose adenovirus a. the remaining 7 shared no hexon sequences with any known ade ... | 2015 | 26342465 |
