Abstract
A recent survey among wild birds demonstrated the presence of a unique genotype of avian bornavirus (ABV) in wild geese and swans in North America. Here, we report the first complete genome sequence of an avian bornavirus of the goose genotype.

A recent survey among wild birds demonstrated the presence of a unique genotype of avian bornavirus (ABV) in wild geese and swans in North America
We report here on the complete genomic sequence of ABV isolated from the brain of a healthy Canadian goose (Branta canadensis), collected in Union County, New Jersey, on 14 February 2011
An analysis of the intergenic region between the N and X genes revealed that this region varies greatly in length among Borna disease virus (BDV) and ABV genotypes
Summary
A recent survey among wild birds demonstrated the presence of a unique genotype of avian bornavirus (ABV) in wild geese and swans in North America. The genomic sequences of different ABV isolates are much more variable than those of Borna disease virus (BDV) isolates [3]. Recent surveys have demonstrated that a unique genotype of ABV infects apparently healthy geese and swans across North America [4,5,6].
