Molecular characterization of avian adenoviruses in Iranian broiler flocks

This study was conducted to molecularly detect avian adenoviruses in broiler flocks showing liver lesions and respiratory syndrome in northeast Iran. In total, 60 tissue samples were collected from broiler farms with liver lesions, respiratory syndrome and also from clinically healthy flocks. Six samples were positive; however, three samples were selected for molecular studies. PCR products wer...

Molecular epidemiology of Bordetella pertussis in Greece, 2010–2015

PURPOSE To determine the predominant strains of Bordetella pertussis in Greece during 2010-2015. METHODOLOGY Infants and children (n=1150) (15 days to 14 years) of Greek, Roma and immigrant origin with different vaccination statuses were hospitalized in Athens, Greece with suspected pertussis infection. IS481/IS1001 real-time PCR confirmed Bordetella spp./B. pertussis infection in 300 samples...
