Duck hepatitis virus it was not until 57 years later in 2006 that the full genome of the pathogen was determined. This genome is composed of 7691 nucleotides and encodes and polyprotein of 2250 amino acids. "Duck hepatitis virus", DHV, type 1 (DHV-1), type 1a (DHV-1a), type 2 (DHV-2), and type 3 (DHV-3) are the four types of viruses that can cause disease in ducks. The pathology and pathogenicity between "duck hepatitis virus" type 1 and type 1a is, in essence, the same as one another. Duck Hepatitis is a Class B disease listed by the "Office des International Epizooties". The disease is
