Researchers Find the Genetic Code for Creating Safer Vaccines for Infectious Laryngotracheitis
Researchers based in Georgia, US, have identified several genetic changes as potential virulence factors of infectious laryngotracheitis virus (ILTV). They deleted one of the gene sequences from a virulent ILTV strain, which resulted in the attenuation...
