Engineered Newcastle disease virus expressing the F and G proteins of AMPV-C confers protection against challenges in turkeys

Abstract Avian metapneumovirus (AMPV) infects the respiratory and reproductive tracts of domestic poultry, resulting in substantial economic losses for producers. Live attenuated vaccines appear to be the most effective in countries where the disease is prevalent. However, reversion to virulence has...
