Nucleotide percentage homologies of studied isolates from the commercial broiler breeder hens in relation to previously characterized Malaysian CAV field isolates.
| Previously identified Malaysian CAV isolates | |||
| SMSC-1 | BL-5 | 3-1 | |
| MF1A | 98.9 | 94.9 | 94.5 |
| MF3C | 97.9 | 94.5 | 94.3 |
| M3B5 | 97.1 | 95.1 | 94.9 |
| NF4A | 98.3 | 95.1 | 94.7 |
| P12B | 99.1 | 95.1 | 95.1 |
| P24A | 98.7 | 95.1 | 94.7 |
| M1B1 | 94.9 | 98.9 | 98.1 |
| NF3A | 94.1 | 98.5 | 97.7 |
| PYT4 | 94.1 | 98.5 | 97.7 |
| PPW4 | 94.7 | 98.1 | 97.1 |
| NF1D | 94.7 | 98.1 | 98.1 |
| NF2C | 94.3 | 98.1 | 98.1 |
Accordingly, isolates MF1A, MF3C, M3B5, NF4A, P12B and P24A were found to have maximum homology with SMSC-1 isolate, where as four isolates (M1B1, NF3A, PYT4 and PPW4) were found to have maximum homology with BL-5 isolate. However, isolates NF1D and NF2C have similar maximum homology (98.1%) both with isolates 3-1 and BL-5.
