Molecular serotyping and virulence assessment of Avibacterium paragallinarum strains circulating in Chinese poultry flocks
This multi-provincial study provides contemporary insights into the epidemiology, serotype distribution, and virulence of <i>A. paragallinarum</i> in China. These findings underscore the necessity for region-specific surveillance and support the development of targeted vaccines based on locally prevalent, virulent strains.
