Popis: ABSTRACT: In recent years, with the expansion of duck breeding industry in China, the infection rate of duck circovirus (DuCV) in duck and the mixed infection rate of DuCV with other diseases increased significantly, which seriously endanger the development of duck breeding industry. To study the epidemic status of duck circovirus in China, analyze the virus's genetics and evolution, and establish a foundation for scientific prevention and control of duck circovirus, our laboratory collected 4 disease materials preliminarily diagnosed as duck circovirus infections. Conventional PCR was used to amplify 4 strains of duck circovirus with a full length of 1993bp, and their sequences were compared and analyzed. The analysis showed that the 4 DuCVs had typical circovirus characteristics, including 3 major ORFs: ORFV1 (Rep protein), ORFC1 (Cap protein), ORFC2 (apoptosis-related protein), and a stem ring structure. The 4 strains were compared with 22 other reference strains, and the results revealed that all 4 strains belonged to the DuCV-I type represented by the German strain AY228555. Furthermore, the homology between the 4 DuCVs and the reference strains was up to 98.6%, which help us to understand the genotype and genetic variation of DuCV in these regions and provide a reference for the prevention and control of DuCV.
