Deletion of the Viral Thymidine Kinase in a Meq-Deleted Recombinant Marek’s Disease Virus Reduces Lymphoid Atrophy but Is Less Protective

Microorganisms, 2021
Marek’s disease (MD) is a ubiquitous disease of domesticated chickens and its etiologic agent is the Gallid alphaherpesvirus 2 (GaHV-2), also known as Marek’s disease virus (MDV). MD is currently controlled by vaccination using live attenuated strains of

Deletion of the meq gene significantly decreases immunosuppression in chickens caused by pathogenic marek's disease virus

Virology Journal, 2011
Background Marek's disease virus (MDV) causes an acute lymphoproliferative disease in chickens, resulting in immunosuppression, which is considered to be an integral aspect of the pathogenesis of Marek's disease (MD).

A Novel Effective and Safe Vaccine for Prevention of Marek’s Disease Caused by Infection with a Very Virulent Plus (vv+) Marek’s Disease Virus

Vaccines, 2021
Marek’s disease virus (MDV) is a highly contagious alphaherpesvirus that causes rapid onset lymphoma in chickens. Marek’s disease (MD) is effectively controlled using vaccination; however, MDV continues to break through vaccinal immunity, due to the ...

Modeling Marek's disease virus transmission: A framework for evaluating the impact of farming practices and evolution

Epidemics, 2018
Marek's disease virus (MDV) is a pathogen of chickens whose control has twice been undermined by pathogen evolution. Disease ecology is believed to be the main driver of this evolution, yet mathematical models of MDV disease ecology have never been ...

Metabolomic profiling of Marek’s disease virus infection in host cell based on untargeted LC-MS

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2023
Marek’s disease (MD) caused by Marek’s disease virus (MDV), poses a serious threat to the poultry industry by inducing neurological disease and malignant lymphoma in infected chickens.

A novel method for genome-wide profiling of dynamic host-pathogen interactions using 3′ end enriched RNA-seq

Scientific Reports, 2017
Marek’s disease is a contagious lymphoproliferative disease of chickens and typical model of viral oncogenesis. Mapping changes or different states over the course of infection for both host and pathogen would provide important insights into dynamic host-

An Overview on Marek’s Disease Virus Evolution and Evidence for Increased Virulence in Brazil

Brazilian Journal of Poultry Science, 2019
Marek’s disease virus (MDV) has been shown to be evolving to higher virulence. One of the genetic sites involved in virulence which enables such characterization is the 339-amino acid Meq protein encoding gene (meq).
