| Research Abstract |
Fowl glioma is caused by fowl glioma-inducing virus (FGV), belonging to subgroup A of avian leucosis virus (ALV-A). To clarify how and where FGV emerged, the prevalence of FGV in European, Asian and Japanese native chickens were examined and the viral genome of the isolates were analyzed. The results suggest that FGV is likely to have appeared in Japanese fowls in Japan without a relationship to the past fowl glioma found in Western countries, and that FGV and FGV vatriants still spread in Japanese fowls, showing genome diversity mainly based on the recombination between these strains and avian endogenous/exogenous viruses.
