| identification and survey of a novel avian coronavirus in ducks. | the rapid discovery of novel viruses using next generation sequencing (ngs) technologies including dna-seq and rna-seq, has greatly expanded our understanding of viral diversity in recent years. the timely identification of novel viruses using ngs technologies is also important for us to control emerging infectious diseases caused by novel viruses. in this study, we identified a novel duck coronavirus (cov), distinct with chicken infectious bronchitis virus (ibv), using rna-seq. the novel duck-s ... | 2013 | 24023656 |
| identification of avian coronavirus in wild aquatic birds of the central and eastern usa. | coronaviruses (covs) are worldwide in distribution, highly infectious, and difficult to control because of their extensive genetic diversity, short generation time, and high mutation rates. genetically diverse covs have been reported from wild aquatic birds that may represent a potential reservoir for avian covs as well as hosts for mutations and recombination events leading to new serotypes or genera. we tested 133 pooled samples representing 700 first-passage (in eggs) and 303 direct cloacal s ... | 2015 | 25380364 |
