title: Immunopathogenesis and physical maps of fowl adenovirus serotype 9.
abstract: Restriction endonuclease maps of the genome of fowl adenovirus (FAV) serotype 9 have been constructed for the restriction endonucleases NdeI, NotI and XbaI. The total size of the FAV-9 genome was estimated to be 44.5 kb pairs, consistent with previous reports that FAV genomes are approximately 10 kb larger than human adenovirus (HAV). The pathogenicity of this virus in day-old chickens was intermediate between the pathogenicity of the non-pathogenic and the highly pathogenic FAVs.
