| isolation and molecular characterization of newly emerging avian reovirus variants and novel strains in pennsylvania, usa, 2011-2014. | avian reovirus (arv) infections of broiler and turkey flocks have caused significant clinical disease and economic losses in pennsylvania (pa) since 2011. most of the arv-infected birds suffered from severe arthritis, tenosynovitis, pericarditis and depressed growth or runting-stunting syndrome (rss). a high morbidity (up to 20% to 40%) was observed in arv-affected flocks, and the flock mortality was occasionally as high as 10%. arv infections in turkeys were diagnosed for the first time in pa i ... | 2015 | 26469681 |
| genomic characterization of a turkey reovirus field strain by next-generation sequencing. | the genome of a turkey arthritis reovirus (tarv) field strain (reo/pa/turkey/22342/13), isolated from a turkey flock in pennsylvania (pa) in 2013, has been sequenced using next-generation sequencing (ngs) on the illumina miseq platform. the genome of the pa tarv field strain was 23,496bp in length with 10 dsrna segments encoding 12 viral proteins. the lengths of the genomic segments ranged from 1192bp (s4) to 3959bp (l1). the 5' and 3' conserved terminal sequences of the pa tarv field strain wer ... | 2015 | 25841748 |
| genomic characterization of a broiler reovirus field strain detected in pennsylvania. | avian reovirus (arv) infections have been increasingly diagnosed in pennsylvania (pa) from 2011 to the present time. a field arv strain (reo/pa/broiler/05682/12) isolated from sick broilers suffered from severe arthritis/tenosynovitis of a pa broiler flock was conducted full genome sequence studies using rt-pcr and race techniques. the complete genome of the pa broiler arv field strain was 23,494bp in length with an approximately 50% g+c content and 10 dsrna segments encoding 12 viral proteins. ... | 2015 | 25660035 |
