Marek's disease virus (MDV) is an oncogenic herpesvirus that causes various clinical
syndromes in its natural host, the chicken. MDV has long been of interest as a model …

Marek's disease (MD) is a lymphoproliferative disease of chickens that, in the absence of
control measures, is capable of causing devastating losses in commercial poultry flocks. MD …

The RNA genome of the human T-cell leukemia virus type 1 (HTLV-1) codes for proteins
involved in infectivity, replication, and transformation. We report in this study the …

The term pathogenesis is most simply defined as the development of disease. Many
uncomplicated infectious diseases proceed in a direct fashion from infection to a specific …

Here we present the first complete genomic sequence, with analysis, of a very virulent strain
of Marek's disease virus serotype 1 (MDV1), Md5. The genome is 177,874 bp and is …

Marek's disease virus (MDV) causes an acute lymphoproliferative disease in chickens,
resulting in T cell lymphomas in visceral organs and peripheral nerves. Earlier studies have …

Marek's disease (MD) is a highly contagious lymphoproliferative disease of poultry caused
by the oncogenic herpesvirus designated Marek's disease virus (MDV). MD has a worldwide …

The production of cytokine mRNAs, in addition to viral DNA, was quantified by real-time
quantitative reverse transcription-PCR (RT-PCR)(cytokines) or PCR (virus) in splenocytes …

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a class of small (∼ 22-nucleotide) regulatory molecules that block
translation or induce degradation of target mRNAs. These have been identified in a wide …

We have determined the DNA sequence of the unique long (UL) region and the repeat long
(RL) region in the genome of serotype 1 GA strain of Marek's disease virus (MDV), a …
