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.
本研究报告了一种在中国鸽子中发现的新型腺病毒。六邻体基因的核苷酸同源性分析表明,该病毒与PiAd - 2变异体A和PiAd - 1的核苷酸相似性分别为79.0%和70.9%。系统发育分析表明,鉴定出的病毒与PiAd - 2变异体一起,在禽腺病毒属中构成一个单系群(提议命名为鸽禽腺病毒B)。本研究有助于了解鸽子腺病毒的流行病学、生态学和分类学。
