“…Further genetic studies on TRVs from different geographical areas are required to confirm or refute this observation. Variations at nucleotide and amino acid levels in S segment of turkey reoviruses in comparison to reoviruses of chicken, duck and goose origin have earlier been reported (Day et al, 2007;Jindal et al, 2010Jindal et al, , 2014Mor et al, 2014a). In all M class segments, the variations within the TRV sequences suggested that synonymous changes were higher than non-synonymous changes, which is in agreement with previous M class studies in CRVs, DRVs and GRVs (Noad et al, 2006;Su et al, 2006;Wang et al, 2013;Zhang et al, 2007).…”
