Homology comparison was conducted using the full-length se-quence ofMCPof LCDV-ss by BLAST of the National Center of Biotech-nology Information (NCBI) (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/BLAST).
Sequence assembly was performed using DNASTAR. The phylogenetic
tree based onMCP, DNA Polgenes and other 26 iridovirus isolates was
constructed using the neighbor-joining method (bootstrap value of
1000) by MEGA 5.0 software.
