Research findings, 'Genetic diversity of the VP1 gene of duck hepatitis virus type I (DHV-I) isolates from southeast China is related to isolate attenuation,' are discussed in a new report. According to recent research from Hangzhou, People's Republic of China, "The complete sequence of an isolate (ZJ-V) of Duck hepatitis virus I (DHV-I), originally taken from the field in southeast China was determined. It was 7691 nucleotides long and had 5'-and 3'-terminal non-coding regions of 626 and 315 nucleotides, respectively." "The poly(A) tail contained at least 22 residues and the single open reading frame encoded a polypeptide of 2249 amino acids. The VP1 gene was also...
