Genomic Characterization of an Emergent Cross‐Border Recombinant Duck Plague Virus With High Pathogenicity and Reduced Vaccine Efficacy in Guangxi, China
Duck plague virus (DPV) is a major pathogen causing recurrent outbreaks in waterfowl. This study reports the comprehensive characterization of a novel DPV strain, designated GXGG240520, isolated from clinically diseased ducks in Guangxi, China. The strain was confirmed as a virulent DPV by PCR targeting the UL2 gene (1...
