Genetic diversity of pigeon circovirus in Hungary

Abstract: Pigeon circoviruses (PiCV) had been identified worldwide and are responsible for immune suppression and a variety of diseases collectively referred to as young pigeon disease syndrome. Samples from racing pigeons were collected throughout Hungary and analyzed for the presence of PiCV by polymerase chain reaction. The capsid protein coding gene was amplified from ten PiCVs of different origins, and compared with known PiCV sequences. The results indicated that PiCV was highly variable, the viruses formed five d… Show more

“…Pigeon circovirus infections are very common all around the world (Smyth and Carroll, 1995;Paré et al, 1999;Caletti et al, 2000;Raue et al, 2005;Freick et al, 2008;Zhang et al, 2011;Cságola et al, 2012;Stenzel et al, 2012). The results obtained in this study indicate the high prevalence of PiCV infections in Poland.…”

“…By analysing the length of each branch of the phylogenetic trees, it can be stated that either the hypothetical common ancestors of the world's well-known PiCV strains and PiCV isolates from Poland studied in this investigation appeared in the distant past or that the virus mutates rapidly. The phylogenetic tree constructed on the basis of the Cap gene fragment is convergent with data presented by Cságola et al (2012) wherein the authors divided the Hungarian isolates and isolates from all over the world into groups. To facilitate a comparative analysis, the same was performed in the present study by separating five clades of viruses.…”
