Abstract
Research Highlights:
Molecular characterization of MDV strains from British small chicken flocks showed great diversity.Sequencing showed a variety of Meq protein isoforms: standard, long, very long, and very very long.Phylogenetic analysis identified MDV strains similar to those from diverse geographical regions, varying in predicted virulence.
