Molecular Characterization of Parvovirus Strain GX-Tu-PV-1, Isolated from a Guangxi Turkey

The aim of the current study was to determine the genomic sequence of parvovirus strain GX-Tu-PV-1, which was isolated from a turkey in Guangxi Province, South China. The analysis showed that the genome sequence of GX-Tu-PV-1 was 81.3% to ∼99.3% similar to those of other turkey parvoviruses (TuPVs) and 79.8% to ∼92.1% related to chicken parvovirus (ChPV). This study will help in understanding the epidemiology and molecular characteristics of parvovirus in turkeys.
