two fiber genes of nearly equal lengths are a common and distinctive feature of fowl adenovirus c members. | the complete genome or the genome region containing the two fiber genes of two reference strains and one field isolate representing both serotypes of fowl adenovirus c were sequenced. two fiber genes were revealed in the genomes of all three isolates. fiber-1 and fiber-2 genes of several fowl adenovirus c isolates were sequenced as well. both serotypes 4 and 10 have two fiber genes. the genome region containing the fiber gene was also sequenced for the reference strain of fowl adenovirus b. just ... | 2011 | 22133916 |
hydropericardium syndrome: current state and future developments. | hydropericardium syndrome (hps) is a highly infectious disease caused by fowl adenovirus serotype 4 (fav-4) affecting poultry, especially broiler birds. the disease was initially reported from angara goth, pakistan, and then from india during 1994, in the poultry belt of jammu and kashmir, and thereafter, from almost all parts of the country, causing heavy economic losses to the poultry industry. the disease occurs predominantly in broilers of the age group of 3-5 weeks, characterized by sudden ... | 2013 | 23242777 |
hydropericardium hepatitis syndrome emerged in cherry valley ducks in china. | since june 2015, a highly pathogenic disease occurred in duck flocks in china, causing pericardial effusion, enlarged discoloured liver, renal enlargement and haemorrhagic lung with a mortality ranging from 5% to 20%. previous study confirmed that fowl adenovirus group c (fadv-c) and some field fadvs isolates had been identified as causative agents of hydropericardium hepatitis syndrome (hhs) in chickens and geese world widely. in this study, we firstly report the isolation of fadv-c from ducks ... | 2016 | 27041687 |
design of a predicted mhc restricted short peptide immunodiagnostic and vaccine candidate for fowl adenovirus c in chicken infection. | fowl adenoviruses (fadvs) are the ethiologic agents of multiple pathologies in chicken. there are five different species of fadvs grouped as fadv-a, fadv-b, fadv-c, fadv-d, and fadv-e. it is of interest to develop immunodiagnostics and vaccine candidate for peruvian fadv-c in chicken infection using mhc restricted short peptide candidates. we sequenced the complete genome of one fadv strain isolated from a chicken of a local farm. a total of 44 protein coding genes were identified in each genome ... | 2015 | 26664030 |
emergence of fowl aviadenovirus c-4 in a backyard chicken flock in california. | fowl aviadenovirus (fadv) species d and e are associated with inclusion body hepatitis (ibh); species c, serotype 4 (hereafter, fadv4) is associated with hepatitis-hydropericardium syndrome (hhs) in young chickens. outbreaks of hhs have led to significant losses in the poultry industry in several countries, predominantly in china. in april 2020, fadv4 was detected in a remote backyard flock in california. in a mixed flock of chickens of various breeds and ages (6 mo to 2 y old), 7 of 30 were fou ... | 2021 | 34085872 |
