Pathogenicity of Avian Polyomaviruses and Prospect of Vaccine Development

Viruses, 2022
Polyomaviruses are nonenveloped icosahedral viruses with a double-stranded circular DNA containing approximately 5000 bp and 5–6 open reading frames. In contrast to mammalian polyomaviruses (MPVs), avian polyomaviruses (APVs) exhibit high lethality and ...
