Self-synthesizing transposons are the largest known transposable elements that encode
their own DNA polymerases (DNAP). The Polinton/Maverick family of self-synthesizing …

Adenoviruses are common infectious agents in poultry and wild birds worldwide. This
chapter offers detailed coverage of the history, etiology, pathobiology, epidemiology …

While adenoviruses cause infections in a wide range of vertebrates, members of the genus
Atadenovirus, Siadenovirus, and Aviadenovirus predominantly infect avian hosts. Several …

Background Fowl adenovirus is of major concern to the poultry industry worldwidely. In order
to monitor the prevalent status of Fowl adenovirus in China, a total of 1920 clinical samples …

Birds, notably wild ducks, are reservoirs of pathogenic and zoonotic viruses such as
influenza viruses and coronaviruses. In the current study, we used metagenomics to detect …

Duck adenoviruses (DAdVs) include serotype 1 (DAdV-1) in the genus Atadenovirus and
serotypes 2-4 (DAdV-2, 3, and 4) in the genus Aviadenovirus. DAdV-3 was initially isolated …

Little is known about the diversity of adenoviruses in wild birds and how they have evolved
and are maintained in complex ecosystems. In this study, 409 samples were collected from …

Competing roles of coevolution, selective pressure and recombination are an emerging
interest in virus evolution. We report a novel aviadenovirus from captive red-bellied parrots …

The young pigeon disease syndrome (YPDS) affects mainly young pigeons of less than one
year of age and leads to crop stasis, vomitus, diarrhea, anorexia and occasionally death …

Adenoviruses are commonly found in members of almost every vertebrate lineage except
fish and amphibians, from each of which only a single isolate is available as yet. In this work …
