| the goose reovirus genome segment encoding the minor outer capsid protein, sigma1/sigmac, is bicistronic and shares structural similarities with its counterpart in muscovy duck reovirus. | reoviruses have recently been shown to be associated with disease in young geese and to be involved in epizooties of severe outcome in hungary. to assess the genetic variability among these pathogenic goose reoviruses (grvs), we sequenced the s4 genome segment of five grv strains isolated from different diseased flocks. we found that the grv s4 genome segment, consisting of two partially overlapping open reading frames (orfs), shares substantial structural similarity with its counterpart in musc ... | 2005 | 16175334 |
| detection and identification of avian, duck, and goose reoviruses by rt-pcr: goose and duck reoviruses are part of the same genogroup in the genus orthoreovirus. | a reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (rt-pcr) procedure for the detection of avian, duck, and goose reovirus (arv, drv, and grv) rna from cell culture supernatant and clinical samples was established. based on multiple sequence alignment, a pair of degenerate primers was selected and synthesized. the amplified, cloned, and sequenced 598-base-pair products from the sigmaa-encoding gene fragment from 16 isolates (ranging over 30 years) indicated that the primer regions were well conse ... | 2006 | 16502280 |
| the complete genome sequence of a european goose reovirus strain. | the complete genomic sequence of a hungarian goose orthoreovirus strain (d20/99) is reported in this study. the genome of d20/99 is 22,969 bp in length (range, 3958 bp for l1 to 1124 bp for s4) and encodes 11 putative proteins. pairwise sequence comparisons and phylogenetic analyses indicated that d20/99 shares genetic signatures with some contemporary chinese duck and goose reovirus strains, except for the μa, μns and σa protein coding genes, which represented independent genetic lineages. this ... | 2014 | 24573219 |
| preparation and evaluation of goose reovirus inactivated vaccine. | infection with goose reovirus (grv) can cause serious economic losses in the goose breeding industry. in this study, the grv allantoic fluid was concentrated and used as an antigen in a formalin-inactivated oil-emulsion vaccine. | 2017 | 28683792 |
