Genetic Diversity of Fowlpox Virus and Putative Genes Involved in Its Pathogenicity
ABSTRACT To determine the genomic variations of fowlpox virus (FPV)—the largest, very ancient, and still harmful avian virus—the complete genomes of 21 FPVs were analyzed. The genomes showed low genetic diversity relative to their overall size. Our studies revealed that FPVs could phylogenetically b...
