The σC Gene Characterization of Seven Turkey Arthritis Reovirus Field Isolates in Pennsylvania during 2011-2014
Abstract:Seven turkey arthritis reovirus (TARV) field isolates made in our laboratory during 2011-2014 were characterized by sequencing of reovirus σC genes. Of the seven TARV field isolates, six were isolated from 3-to-17-week-old turkeys with tenosynovitis in six Pennsylvania farms and one was isolated from an Indiana turkey case submitted to our lab in 2014. This report describes the amplification and sequencing of the σC genes for genetic characterization studies on the seven TARV field isolates. Phylogenetic analy… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
