A gel-based PCR method to differentiate sheeppox virus field isolates from vaccine strains.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Echovirus 6 (E6) infections are associated with aseptic meningitis and acute flaccid paralysis (AFP). But some infections, sometimes most of them, are asymptomatic. The mechanism of E6 virulence is unknown. Analyses of the molecular evolution of asymptomatic E6 may help understand why the infections show dif...
