The avian leukosis virus (ALV) strain DL00766 was isolated from a farm in China. The phylogenetic analysis showed that env had the highest homology with the E subgroup reference strain, ranging from 94.5% to 94.9%, whereas gp85 had the highest homology with the B and E subgroups, which were 89.0% to...
