Complete genomic sequence of a Muscovy duck-origin reticuloendotheliosis virus from China

J Virol. 2012 Dec;86(23):13140-1. doi: 10.1128/JVI.02531-12.

Abstract

The complete proviral sequence of a Muscovy duck-origin reticuloendotheliosis virus (REV) associated with spontaneously occurring neoplastic disease in 2011 in Zhejiang province, China, was determined. Comparative sequence analyses indicate that the present REV is most closely related to the chicken-origin REV isolate HLJR0901 and the goose-origin isolate Goose/3410/06. These findings suggest that chickens or geese may transmit the REV to Muscovy ducks.
