September 10th, 2008
New research, 'Molecular cloning and sequence analysis of the duck enteritis virus UL5 gene,' is the subject of a report. According to a study from Shenyang, People's Republic of China, "Duck enteritis virus (DEV) is a herpesvirus that causes an acute, contagious, and fatal disease. In the present article, the DEV UL5 gene was cloned and sequenced from a vaccine virus." "According to the consensus sequence of herpesvirus UL5 and UL3 gene degenerate oligonucleotide primers were designed and were used in the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) to amplify DNA products with 4577 bp in size. DNA sequence analysis revealed a 2568 bp open reading frame (ORF) encoding a 855 amino...
