RMND5A and neoplasm: Interestingly, parental rMd5 and chimeric viruses exhibited distinct pathogenic phenotypes in chickens: rMd5 caused 100% mortality, a moderate level of tumor incidence in visceral organs and small visceral tumors; rMd5-Md5/CVI-Meq caused 100% mortality, a high level of tumor incidence in visceral organs, and very large visceral tumors; while rMd5-CVI/Md5-Meq caused an average of 37% mortality, rarely induced tumors in visceral organs, and the visceral tumors were small.
