Abstract: In order to investigate the genotypic characteristics and biological characteristics of major capsid protein (VP1) of duck hepatitis A virus (DHAV) GX strain, the whole genome of GX strain was sequenced and compared with 3 serotypes reference strains of DHAV by the molecular biology software.The results showed that the full-length genome of DHAV GX strain was 7 800 bp, including 5'UTR (652 bp), 3'UTR (369 bp) and ORF (6 756 bp) encoding 2 251 aa and its coding products were 12 (VP0/VP3/VP1/2A1/2A2/2A3/2B/2C/3A/3B/3C/3D) at least.Sequence analysis showed that DHAV GX strain could be ranked DHAV 3 style.This strain shared the highest homology with DHAV-3 reference strains; Furthermore, GX strain and DHAV-3 FS strain were in the same cluster, might come from the same ancestor.Amino acid segments locating in 195 to 201 and 211 to 221 aa could be larvaceous dominant B-cell linear epitopes.It suggested that VP1 gene could be used as a candidate gene for the development of genetic engineering vaccine of DHAV.
