Identifying Candidate Genetic Markers of CDV Cross-Species Pathogenicity in African Lions

Identifying Candidate Genetic Markers of CDV Cross-Species Pathogenicity in African Lions

Canine distemper virus (CDV) is a multi-host pathogen with variable clinical outcomes of infection across and within species. We used whole-genome sequencing (WGS) to search for viral markers correlated with clinical distemper in African lions. To identify candidate markers, we first documented sing...
