Key result
Sequencing of DuCV strains in China reveals novel genotype DuCV-1d and high recombination rates.
Why the study?
The study was conducted to explore genetic variations in duck circovirus (DuCV) and the molecular epidemiology of its infection.
Population
219 dead ducks from 20 farms in central and eastern regions of China
Design

Alerts to emerging viral variants in ducks; leaves open pathogenicity, transmission, and surveillance needs.
Cross-Sectional (n=219)
Yes
Identification of a novel genotype (DuCV-1d) and high recombination rates in duck circovirus strains in China may inform future vaccine strain selection.
Ji et al. (2020) conducted a cross-sectional in Duck circovirus (DuCV) infection (n=219). Duck circovirus (DuCV) genetic variation was evaluated on Genetic variations, sequence identity, and recombination of DuCV strains. Sequencing of 20 duck circovirus strains from 219 dead ducks in China revealed a novel genotype (DuCV-1d) and high rates of inter- and intragenotypic recombination.
