Abstract
Molecular investigation of the occurrence of herpesviruses in 228 wild birds in Piauí, northeastern Brazil, identified a herpesvirus in a migratory Wilson's Plover (Charadrius wilsonia). Genetic analysis supported its classification as a new strain, tentatively named Charadrius alphaherpesvirus 1, within the genus Mardivirus, broadening the herpesvirus host range in Charadriiformes.
期刊介绍:
The JWD publishes reports of wildlife disease investigations, research papers, brief research notes, case and epizootic reports, review articles, and book reviews. The JWD publishes the results of original research and observations dealing with all aspects of infectious, parasitic, toxic, nutritional, physiologic, developmental and neoplastic diseases, environmental contamination, and other factors impinging on the health and survival of free-living or occasionally captive populations of wild animals, including fish, amphibians, reptiles, birds, and mammals. Papers on zoonoses involving wildlife and on chemical immobilization of wild animals are also published. Manuscripts dealing with surveys and case reports may be published in the Journal provided that they contain significant new information or have significance for better understanding health and disease in wild populations. Authors are encouraged to address the wildlife management implications of their studies, where appropriate.
