Abstract
Complete genomic sequences of two orthoreovirus strains, D2533/4/1-10 and D2533/6/1-10, isolated from Pekin ducklings in Germany have been determined. Pairwise sequence comparisons and phylogenetic analyses indicated that strain D2533/4/1-10 might have acquired its genomic segments from three different origins, from classical and novel waterfowl reoviruses, and a yet unknown orthoreovirus strain. D2533/6/1-10 proved to be only distantly related to previously described orthoreoviruses. Reassortment, host species transmission events, and successful adaptation of novel variants may signify a challenge for animal health and maintenance of economic production.
