While single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) was once thought to be a relatively rare genomic
architecture for viruses, modern metagenomics sequencing has revealed circular ssDNA …

Despite their small size and limited protein-coding capacity, the rapid evolution rates of
single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) viruses have led to their emergence as serious plant and …

The family Circoviridae contains viruses with covalently closed, circular, single-stranded
DNA (ssDNA) genomes, including the smallest known autonomously replicating, capsid …

Now in its Twelfth Edition, Diseases of Poultry continues its tradition of excellence as the
definitive reference of poultry disease. Following the same user-friendly format, the book has …

Circoviruses are small, non-enveloped, icosahedral viruses that are unique among animal
viruses in having circular, single-stranded DNA genomes. Their genomes are also the …

Two types of porcine circovirus (PCV) have been isolated and are referred to as PCV1 and
PCV2. PCV1 represents an apathogenic virus, whereas PCV2 is associated with post …

Infection of animals with a molecular viral clone is critical to study the genetic determinants
of viral replication and virulence in the host. Type 2 porcine circovirus (PCV2) has been …

The rep gene of Porcine circovirus type 1 directs the synthesis of two proteins. The full-
length protein Rep is 312 amino acids in size, the spliced variant Rep′ is truncated (168 …

Postweaning multisystemic wasting syndrome (PMWS) is an emerging disease in swine.
Increasing evidence indicates that a variant strain of porcine circovirus (PCV), designated …
