This conclusion was based on the phenotypes of two chimeric viruses (R5 and R9) constructed by recombining DNA fragments between two infectious cDNA clones of strains GDVII and DA. Further experiments performed in our laboratory in collaboration with T. Michiels have revealed that one of the recombinant plasmids used in this study, plasmid pTMR9, is
