Sequence and phylogenetic analysis of chicken anaemia virus obtained from backyard and commercial chickens in Nigeria : research communication
This work reports the first molecular analysis study of chicken anaemia virus (CAV) in backyard chickens in Africa using molecular cloning and sequence analysis to characterize CAV strains obtained STAY HIGH 18 from commercial chickens and Nigerian backyard chickens.Partial VP1 gene sequences were determined for three CAVs from commercial chickens
