Key result
Recombinant MDPV strain YL08 genome spans 5061 nucleotides with a putative VP1 recombination breakpoint.
Why the study?
Muscovy duck parvovirus causes fatal disease in young ducklings and significant economic loss, necessitating understanding of its genetic diversity and evolution.
Alerts to recombinant MDPV circulation; leaves open pathogenicity, transmissibility, and control implications pending functional studies.
Muscovy duck parvovirus (MDPV) is fatal for young ducklings of less than 3 weeks of age and has caused severe economic loss in duck production in many countries and regions. We report here on a complete genome sequence of a recombinant MDPV strain YL08 isolated from an ill Muscovy duck in 2008 at Qiqihar, Heilongjiang province, China. This genome, MDPV YL08, was 5061 nucleotides long and retained the two ORFs, which are typical in the Parvovirinae family. The genome of YL08 strain has a putative recombination breakpoint on its VP1 gene. This study has helped our understanding of the genetic diversity and virus evolution of MDPV isolates.

Yang et al. (2022) studied Muscovy duck parvovirus (MDPV) infection (n=1). Genome sequencing was evaluated on Complete genome sequence and genetic characteristics. The complete genome of recombinant MDPV strain YL08 was 5061 nucleotides long, retaining two typical ORFs, with a putative recombination breakpoint on its VP1 gene.
