  • 127 virus
  • group III avian adeno virus
  • egg drop syndrome virus
  • avian adenovirus EDS
  • Eggdrop syndrome-1976 virus
  • Adenovirus 127
  • Duck adenovirus A

    • Strains

    Strain 127 is the strain of the virus that was isolated and studied after the outbreak of egg drop syndrome 1976, and where the identification of the exact virus was first made. The virus was first called Adenovirus 127 after this strain, before getting its current name. This strain was the first strain of the virus to get a full genome sequence in the GenBank database.
