- Abstract
Here, we report the genomic characterization of a fowl adenovirus serotype 4 strain isolated from a chicken with hydropericardium syndrome in Japan. The viral genome of FAdV-4 strain JP/LVP-1/96 was found to be 45,688 bp long. Amino acid substitutions at position 219 (G to D) in the fiber-2 protein and at position 188 (I to R) in the hexon protein, which are commonly found in virulent FAdV-4 strains, were also found in the JP/LVP-1/96 strain. Additional specific amino acid substitutions commonly found in virulent FAdV-4 strains were found in ORFs 4 and 43, which are present only in members of the species Fowl adenovirus C. Phylogenetic analysis based on complete hexon protein gene sequences showed that strain JP/LVP-1/96 belongs to a different genetic cluster from the strains circulating in neighboring countries.
