The functions of herpesvirus-encoded microRNAs [PDF]

, 2008
Bioinformatic and direct cloning approaches have led to the identification of over 100 novel miRNAs expressed in DNA viruses, although the function of the majority of these small regulatory RNA molecules is unclear. Recently, a number of reports have now

Characterization of human herpesvirus 6A/B U94 as ATPase, helicase, exonuclease and DNA-binding proteins [PDF]

, 2015
Human herpesvirus-6A (HHV-6A) and HHV-6B integrate their genomes into the telomeres of human chromosomes, however, the mechanisms leading to integration remain unknown. HHV-6A/B encode a protein that has been proposed to be involved in integration termed

The role of phagocytic cells in enhanced susceptibility of broilers to colibacillosis after Infectious Bronchitis Virus infection [PDF]

, 2008
Colibacillosis results from infection with avian pathogenic Escherichia coli bacteria. Healthy broilers are resistant to inhaled E. coli, but previous infection with vaccine or virulent strains of Infectious Bronchitis Virus (IBV) predisposes birds for ...

A novel protein-coding ORF72.2 gene was identified from Marek's disease virus strain CVI988

Virology Journal, 2010
Marek's disease is a highly contagious disease of poultry characterized by rapid-on set of T-cell lymphomas, which is caused by Marek's disease virus (MDV), but its pathogenic mechanism is still not very clear.

Protection study of the Labio-Marek vaccine against the JM strain challenge in SPF chickens

VacciMonitor, 2014
Marek's disease is a lymphomatous and neuropathic disease of the domestic chickens caused by herpesvirus. Currently the acute form of the disease, with extended visceral lymphomas, is the most common with an incidence of 10-30%.

Viral proteins expressed in the protozoan parasite Eimeria tenella are detected by the chicken immune system [PDF]

, 2016
BACKGROUND: Eimeria species are parasitic protozoa that cause coccidiosis, an intestinal disease commonly characterised by malabsorption, diarrhoea and haemorrhage that is particularly important in chickens.

Pathological mechanisms of avian viral oncogenesis: The central role of MicroRNA

Poultry Science
Avian oncogenic viruses represent a major cause of neoplastic and immunosuppressive diseases in poultry, leading to substantial economic losses worldwide and providing valuable models for studying virus-induced tumorigenesis. Among these viruses, Marek’s

Unraveling the role of γδ T cells in the pathogenesis of an oncogenic avian herpesvirus

mBio
Marek’s disease virus (MDV) is an oncogenic alphaherpesvirus that causes deadly lymphomas in chickens. In chickens, up to 50% of all peripheral T cells are gamma delta (γδ) T cells.
