Complete genome sequencing, molecular and antigenic characterization of duck hepatitis A virus type 1 isolated in Benha, Egypt
The results revealed minimal antigenic variation, highlighting the potential for immune evasion. These findings suggest that the currently administered vaccines in Egypt remain effective in controlling DHAV-1 infections. However, continuous surveillance is essential to monitor any emerging genetic or antigenic changes that could compromise vaccine efficacy in the future.
