Canine distemper virus (CDV) causes a multisystemic fatal disease, briefly named as distemper, in domestic and wild animals. Molecular characterization studies serve to identify local strains, accordingly, helps to determine the scope of vaccination in prevention of distemper. We aimed with this study to update the molecular status of CDV in domestic dogs in Turkey.Sequence analysis of the H gene revealed that novel Turkish sequences formed a separated clade in Arctic-like lineage. Italian clade which mainly included strains originated from wild canid or non-canid localized nearly to novel Turkish clade. Codons 530th and 549th determining the affinity of domestic or wild animals to distemper were Asparagine and Tyrosine, respectively.This report presented the presence of CDV strains belonging to Arctic-like lineage for the first time in domestic dogs in Turkey. The findings pave the way for the reassessment of the circulation and geographical shifting of Arctic-like lineages of CDV.
