Hemagglutinin genotype profiles of canine distemper virus from domestic dogs in Japan.
Two distinct hemagglutinin genotypes were identified in canine distemper viruses circulating among dogs since 1991 in Japan. One is the native and numerically predominant KDK-1 genotype, while the other is the 98-002 genotype that may have evolved in the Far East beyond the border between Japan and the Republic of Korea.
