| a red squirrel associated adenovirus identified by a combined microarray and deep sequencing approach. | in 2013, an adult red squirrel (sciurus vulgaris) was found dead showing, during necropsy, acute diffuse catarrhal enteritis. using a virus screening pipeline based on a pan-viral dna microarray with downstream next-generation sequencing a novel squirrel-associated virus was identified with mastadenovirus-typical sequence elements. phylogenetic analysis of hexon protein amino acid sequences demonstrated the highest similarity to equine adenovirus (adv) 2, but a strong divergence to a squirrel ad ... | 2017 | 28685288 |
| widespread occurrence of squirrel adenovirus 1 in red and grey squirrels in scotland detected by a novel real-time pcr assay. | the eurasian red squirrel (sciurus vulgaris) is distributed throughout large parts of europe and asia. however, its distribution in certain regions of europe is endangered by the invasive, non-native grey squirrel (sciurus carolinensis). adenoviruses were already described in squirrels in great britain almost two decades ago. in 2013, a squirrel adenovirus (sqadv-1) was additionally found in a red squirrel from germany, which suffered from acute diffuse catarrhal enteritis, and the complete geno ... | 2018 | 30237072 |
