Abstract
ABSTRACT A new strain of avian picornavirus was identified in fecal samples from broiler chickens in a commercial farm in the municipality of Benevides, Pará, Brazil. Genomic analysis showed it to have a nucleotide identity of 78.4% with the family Picornaviridae , genus Avisivirus, and species Avisivirus A , suggesting that this is a possible new strain within this species.
