Conocimientos actuales sobre los métodos de diagnóstico, características epidemiológicas y estrategias antivirales del virus de la anemia del pollo

Chicken anemia virus (CAV) is a single-stranded circular DNA virus classified within the genus Gyrovirus of the family Anelloviridae. The disease caused by CAV is predominantly characterized by aplastic anemia, lymphatic atrophy, and concurrent immunosuppression. The widespread occurrence of CAV has led to significant economic detriment in the global poultry sector. This review offers a thorough overview of advancements in CAV, encompassing its genomic features and transmission, clinical signs and pathogenicity, diagnostic methodologies, prevalence, and current antiviral strategies, which will provide a valuable resource for future research and the effective management of this pathogen.
