Abstract:

Avian reoviruses (ARVs) are considered as an important cause of several diseases in poultry, particularlyarthritis and tenosynovitis. Tenosynovitis and arthritis, which are among the causes of chronic lameness inbreeder flocks, can result in reduced egg production and culling of breeder hens. In this study, the molecularcharacteristics of ARVs in some broiler breeder flocks were investigated in Iran. After RNA extraction of thefield samples, reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) was performed to amplify two regionsof ARVs for S1 and S4 genes. The positive samples were further analyzed by five restriction enzymes inrestriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) for determining the strains. The phylogenetic analysis of S1and S4 genes from the isolates indicated divergence into five and four major lineages, respectively. Thesequence analysis of S1 and S4 genes of ARVs revealed that most of the positive samples were closely related totenosynovitis-inducing ARVs (with less than 2% nucleotide divergence). Also, these samples were mosthomologous to S1133 strain, with 99.90% nucleotide and amino acid affinity.

Molecular characterization of infectious bronchitis viruses isolated from broiler flocks in Bushehr province, Iran: 2014 - 2015

The aim of this study was to provide information on the molecular characteristic and the phylogenic relationship of infectious bronchitis viruses (IBV) strains in Bushehr province in comparison to other strains reported in the Middle East. Samples were collected from broiler flocks in Bushehr province during 2014 - 2015. These flocks had respiratory problems such as gasping, sneezing and bronch...

Complete genome sequence of a Newcastle disease virus strain isolated from broiler breeder flocks in China.

In 2010 and 2011, several devastating Newcastle disease (ND) outbreaks occurred in China, affecting broilers, layers, and breeders. The CK-JSX1-201005 virus was isolated from broiler breeder flocks vaccinated with the classical ND virus (NDV) vaccine program, but laying rate decreased from 80% to 30 to 40% in the clinic. Here, we report the complete genome sequence and molecular characteristic ...

Genotypic Characterization of Fungal Species Isolated From Broiler Breeder Chickens, Dead-In-Shell and Hatched Chicks

To investigate the prevalence of fungal agents in local Egyptian broiler breeder chicken’s premises, tracheal and cloacal swabs from chickens, feed, and water samples were collected. The targeted breed's dead-in-shell eggs and newly hatched chick’s samples were also tested. All fungal isolates were morphologically typed and the predominant fungal species were further subjected to molecular typi...

Detection and Molecular Characterization of Chicken Astrovirus from Broiler Flocks in Iran: The First Report

Background and Aims: Enteric diseases have had detrimental impacts on commercial poultry through depressing growth rates and caused considerable economic losses to poultry producers. Chicken astrovirus (CAstV) is one of the most common viruses related to enteric diseases in chickens, especially in young chicks. Materials and Methods: Chicken astroviruses were detected by reverse transcriptase ...
