Marek’s disease virus: mechanistic insights into host immune responses and multilayered immune evasion strategies
ABSTRACT Marek’s disease virus (MDV) is a highly contagious, oncogenic alphaherpesvirus that induces profound immunosuppression and T-cell lymphomas in poultry, serving as a prominent paradigm for investigating virus-induced tumorigenesis and pathogen evolution under vaccine-driven selection pressure. Despite half a ce...
