Interpretive Summary: Chicken parvovirus (ChPV) and turkey parvovirus (TuPV) are small, non-envelope DNA viruses of approximately 5.3 kilobase pairs in length. Both ChPV and TuPV are widespread in commercial chicken and turkey flocks across the world and are highly infectious in young poultry. Aveparvoviruses have been associated with the occurrence of malabsorption syndrome in chickens and enteritis in turkeys . Despite the proposed association, the participation of parvoviruses in such syndromes is unclear, since ChPV genomes have also been detected in healthy chickens. This study provides the full sequence of three chicken parvoviruses which will aid the understanding of these viruses in disease.

Technical Abstract: Parvoviruses are commonly found in U.S. poultry and are associated with clinical disease. Here, we report the complete coding sequences of three chicken parvoviruses from broiler chickens from commercial farms in the state of Georgia.
