Abstract

Chicken infectious anemia virus (CIAV) is one
amongst the numerous pathogens in the poultry industry. CIAV infection can cause restraint of
the immune system, the excitement of co-infections, vaccination failures and
mortality. chicks. Maternal antibodies not prevent infection but to prevent
these symptoms, immunological disorder, or transmission of the virus. Genetic
characterization for five sequences of chicken infectious anemia virus (CIAV)
from different flocks of broiler industrial chickens were a
consideration for the primary time in Iraq. Phylogenetic analysis of the viral
protein 1 (VP1) gene, as well as the hypervariable region of the CIAV genome,
indicated that Iraqi  CIAV strains have
belonged into genotype II. Amino acid comparison exhibit that the diversity of
VP1 is indicated that the new strains were extremely pathogenic viruses. Our
epidemiological study provided new insights into the prevalence of CIAV strain
in recent years in Sulaimani province/Iraq
