Genetic diversity of VP3 of goose parvovirus isolated from Southeastern China during 2012–2013

Although vaccine and passive immunotherapy were widely used to prevent goose parvovirus (GPV) infection in goose industry, GPV still poses a big problem in Southeastern China. In this study, 23 GPV isolates were isolated from goslings suspected with GPV infection in Southeastern China during 2012–20...

Description
Summary:Although vaccine and passive immunotherapy were widely used to prevent goose parvovirus (GPV) infection in goose industry, GPV still poses a big problem in Southeastern China. In this study, 23 GPV isolates were isolated from goslings suspected with GPV infection in Southeastern China during 2012–2013, and the genetic diversity of VP3 of GPV was analyzed. Phylogenetic tree revealed that these isolates could be clustered into two groups, and 11 of 23 could be further clustered into a new subgroup. Moreover, eight novel mutations and seventeen conserved amino acids were found in these 23 isolates in comparison with isolates previously deposited in GenBank. These isolates and findings not only provide insights into the etiology and molecular characteristics of GPV endemic in Southeastern China, but also enrich the GPV genetic information for better controlling the disease.
