identification and complete genome characterization of a novel picornavirus in turkey (meleagris gallopavo).	members of the family picornaviridae are important pathogens of humans and animals, although compared with the thousands of known bird species (>10 000), only a few (n = 11) picornaviruses have been identified from avian sources. this study reports the metagenomic detection and complete genome characterization of a novel turkey picornavirus from faecal samples collected from eight turkey farms in hungary. using rt-pcr, both healthy (two of three) and affected (seven of eight) commercial turkeys ...	2012	22875254
identification and genetic characterization of a novel picornavirus from chickens.	a novel picornavirus from commercial broiler chickens (gallus gallus domesticus) has been identified and genetically characterized. the viral genome consists of a single-stranded, positive-sense rna genome of >9243 nt excluding the poly(a) tail and as such represents one of the largest picornavirus genomes reported to date. the virus genome is gc-rich with a g+c content of 54.5 %. the genomic organization is similar to other picornaviruses: 5' utr-l-vp0-vp3-vp1-2a-2b-2c-3a-3b-3c-3d-3' utr. the p ...	2014	24496829
