Abstract—Glycoprotein K encoded by the DEV-UL53 is easily able to establish latency in the trigeminal ganglia and
gene is one of the DEV envelope glycoproteins. Like lymphoid tissues as well as peripheral blood lymphocytes[4].
most members of the alphaherpesvirinae, the genes in Duck virus enteritis, which is caused by duck enteritis
the UL region of its genome are well conserved, which virus (DEV). DEV has been classified as belonging to the
means that the major DEV envelope glycoprotein K subfamily alphaherpesvirinae of the family herpesviridae
possessing similar functions of envelope glyc
