Complete Genome Sequence and Construction of an Infectious Bacterial Artificial Chromosome Clone of a Virulent Duck Enteritis Virus Strain XJ

Comparison of biological characteristics of DEV XJ and XJ BAC in vitro. (a) Multistep growth of DEV XJ and XJ BAC. The viral titers of infected cells were determined at different times after inoculation of approximately 0.02 MOI of viruses. Statistical analysis of the differences in virus titers in the total, cell, and supernatant at each time point. The multistep growth curves were computed from three independent experiments. (b) Plaque of DEV XJ and XJ BAC. (c) The viral plaque size was measured by Image J. Representative plaques showing 80 plaques per sample were measured to quantify the results (ns, ; , ).
