Abstract

We report here the complete genome sequence of a duck hepatitis A virus 1 (DHAV-1), strain FJ1220, isolated from a dead pigeon in eastern China. DHAV-1 FJ1220 has high homology of up to 99.6% to the DHAV-1 strain Du/CH/LGD/111238 but relatively low homology to strains FFZ05 and FZ05. An amino acid hypervariable region in the VP1 protein of FJ1220 has the motif (180)TPSGR(184) replaced by (180)ALSRG(184) compared to strains FFZ05 and FZ05.
