The nomenclature of duck viral hepatitis (DVH) was historically not a problem. However, 14 hepatotropic viruses among 10 different genera are associated with the same disease name, DVH. Therefore, the disease name increasingly lacks clarity and may no longer fit the scientific description of the disease. Because one disease should not be attributed to 10 genera of viruses, this almost certainly causes misunderstanding regarding the disease-virus relationship. Herein, we revisited the problem and proposed an update to DVH disease classification. This classification is based on the nomenclature of human viral hepatitis and the key principle of Koch's postulates ("one microbe and one disease"). In total, 10 types of disease names have been proposed. These names were literately matched with hepatitis-related viruses. We envision that this intuitive nomenclature system will facilitate scientific communication and consistent interpretation in this field, especially in the Asian veterinary community, where these diseases are most commonly reported.
鸭病毒性肝炎（DVH）的命名在历史上并不是一个问题。然而，有 10 个不同属的 14 种嗜肝病毒与相同的疾病名称 DVH 有关。因此，该疾病名称越来越缺乏明确性，可能不再符合疾病的科学描述。由于一种疾病不应归因于 10 属的病毒，这几乎肯定会导致对疾病-病毒关系的误解。在此，我们重新审视了这个问题，并提出了对 DVH 疾病分类的更新。这种分类是基于人类病毒性肝炎的命名法和科赫假设的关键原则（“一种微生物和一种疾病”）。总共提出了 10 种疾病名称。这些名称与肝炎相关的病毒完全匹配。我们设想，这个直观的命名系统将有助于该领域的科学交流和一致解释，特别是在亚洲兽医界，这些疾病最为常见。
