Abstract: Three fowl adenovirus 4 (FAV4) isolates from chicken and one from quail, all from Tamil Nadu, India were analyzed. The L1 loop variable region of hexon gene of these isolates was amplified by PCR and sequenced. The nucleotide sequences (442 bp) and deduced amino acid sequences of the four isolates were compared with those of other isolates of FAV4. The nucleotide sequences of the four isolates had a 98% homology with other Indian isolates and a 96% homology with Belgian and Russian isolates. The amino acid sequences of the four Indian isolates had a more than 98% homology with other Indian isolates and a more than 92% homology with Belgian and Russian isolates. Hence, the variable of L1 loop region of hexon gene was found to be highly homologous in all the FAV4 isolates tested both at nucleotide and amino acid level.
