A Doctoral Dissertation at the University of Basrah Investigates the Molecular Characterization of Avian Paramyxovirus

A doctoral dissertation at the College of Veterinary Medicine, University of Basrah, focused on the molecular characterization of avian paramyxovirus type (1).

The dissertation, conducted by Catherine Bander Faraj, aimed to develop an effective peptide-based vaccine against highly virulent viral strains.

The study involved examining 250 birds showing clinical signs of infection, with molecular detection performed using the RT-PCR technique.

The dissertation recommended the development of multi-epitope peptide vaccines, in addition to isolating the virus and incorporating it into the global gene bank among the internationally circulating strains.
