Duck circovirus

Duck circovirus (DuCV) is a type of virus found in ducks. Strains of the virus have predominantly been found in China,[1] though strains have also been isolated from ducks in Germany[2] and the United States.[3]

Duck circovirus is a small nonenveloped virus with a monomeric single-stranded circular DNA genome.[2][4] DuCV has been clustered in the Circoviridae family genus Circovirus, according to the eighth report of the International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses.[4]
