Detection of novel adenovirus in sick pigeons

This study reports a novel adenovirus that was found circulating in pigeons in China. Nucleotide homology analysis of the hexon gene showed a nucleotide similarity of 79.0 and 70.9% with PiAd-2 variant A and PiAd-1, respectively. Phylogenetic analysis suggested that the identified virus, together wi...

More Information
Summary:This study reports a novel adenovirus that was found circulating in pigeons in China. Nucleotide homology analysis of the hexon gene showed a nucleotide similarity of 79.0 and 70.9% with PiAd-2 variant A and PiAd-1, respectively. Phylogenetic analysis suggested that the identified virus, together with PiAd-2 variant, constitutes a monophyletic group (proposed as Pigeon Aviadenovirus B) in the genus Aviadenovirus. The present study contributes to the understanding of the epidemiology, ecology, and taxonomy of adenoviruses in pigeons.
