Isolation and characterisation of an adenovirus isolated from muscovy ducks

Abstract
A virus isolated from Muscovy ducks can be classified as an adenovirus on chemical and morphological grounds. It shares the avian group antigen and is not related to 12 fowl, 2 turkey and 1 duck prototype strains of adenovirus. The virus grows well in cells of duck and fowl origin, and is probably a new duck adenovirus serotype.
