^#Percent identity in hemagglutinin nucleotide sequence of the CDV isolated from the giant panda when compared to other closely related isolates.

^*Indicates residue identical to that of FJ810215 (SD(08)1). Italics indicates mutated residues of giant panda/SX/2014 when compared to other strains. Bold highlights isolates with a histidine residue 549 of the CDV H protein.
