Technical Abstract: Avian metapneumovirus (aMPV) is the cause of severe respiratory infection in turkeys. Despite detailed sequence analyses of most of the aMPV genes, very little is known about the role these proteins in viral virulence, pathogenesis, and immune response. Here, we report the construction of an avian adenovirus recombinant expressing the aMPV subtype C glycoprotein G gene. This live expression vector will be a valuable tool to study the function of the G gene during virus infection.
