[PMID: 36552444 PMCID: PMC9774102 DOI: 10.3390/ani12243523] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/14/2022] [Revised: 12/04/2022] [Accepted: 12/07/2022] [Indexed: 12/15/2022] Open
Abstract
Duck plague (DP) is a highly contagious viral disease in ducks caused by the duck plague virus (DPV). The DPV, a member of Herpesviridae, poses a severe threat to the waterfowl farming industry worldwide. In this study, we reported a recent outbreak of DPV in domestic laying ducks at 310 days of age from southern China in December 2021. The gross lesion, histopathologic examination, molecular detection, and genetic characterization studies of DPV are described here. As a result, gross lesions such as an enlarged congestive spleen and liver were observed. Liver with vacuolar degeneration and small vacuoles and spleen with hemosiderosis were remarkable microscopic findings. Our results suggested that the liver had the highest viral load, followed by the trachea, pancreas, kidney, brain, spleen, and heart. In addition, DPV was successfully isolated in chicken embryo fibroblast cell culture and designated as DP-GD-305-21. The UL2, UL12, UL41, UL47, and LORF11 genes of DP-GD-305-21 shared a high nucleotide homology with the Chinese virulent (CHv) strain and the Chinese variant (CV) strain. In conclusion, this study reports the isolation and molecular characterization of DPV from a recent outbreak in southern China. Our results contributed to the understanding of the pathological and molecular characterization of currently circulating DPV in China.

Abstract
Duck virus enteritis (DVE), caused by the DVE virus (DVEV), is an acute, septicemic, and contagious disease affecting ducks of different breeds, ages, and sexes. In late spring and summer 2019, several outbreaks of DVE were reported in areas with large waterfowl industries in central and southern China. A goose farm located in Jining County, Shandong Province, was impacted by an acute DVE outbreak in July 2019. The causative DVEV field strain (Goose/DVEV/SDJN/China/2019) was subsequently isolated from the liver specimens collected from acute cases of dead geese, which showed severe hemorrhagic lesions on the esophageal mucosal membranes of specimens collected from all the postmortem cases. Comparison of the genome sequence of this newly isolated field strain (Goose/DVEV/SDJN/China/2019) with the common DVEV strains revealed insertions or mutations in the gB and gC genes, which possibly caused the observed high morbidity and mortality in this acute outbreak. We conducted a trial among geese to evaluate the pathogenicity of this strain. Healthy experimental goslings aged 15 d old were inoculated with 10-5.53 ELD50/0.2 mL doses orally or through intramuscular injection. Clinical signs and esophageal erosion appeared in infected geese. Necropsy revealed hemorrhage and necrosis of the cloacal mucosa and liver. Detection of the virus using real-time PCR in the liver, brain, and spleen indicated that they were the hotspots of DVEV infections. One day after the DVEV infection, virus release and seroconvert were observed in infected geese. Thus, our studies demonstrate that DVEV is highly pathogenic and contagious in geese. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study on the pathogenicity of mutant duck viral enteritis virus in goslings. This study serves as a foundation for further investigations into the pathophysiology of the recently identified variant DVEV strains.

Abstract
In the second half of 2021, a highly pathogenic case occurred in a mixed chicken and duck family farm in Guangdong, China. After the duck flocks were immunized with live attenuated duck enteritis virus vaccine (live attenuated DEV vaccine), the chickens of the same farm showed clinical symptoms similar to duck enteritis, such as pericardial effusion, hepatic hemorrhagic spots, kidney enlargement, and intestinal bleeding, with mass mortality. The infection model of target animal tested, as well as the non-target species, was established according to the risk of live attenuated DEV vaccine and transmission in chickens. Live attenuated DEV vaccine was initially replicated in host animals, released the virus, and effectively colonized in the common environment, according to birds challenged experiments. There was evidence to suggest the mode of transmission of duck enteritis virus, and horizontal transmission is the main route of DEV transmission. In addition, high levels of virus titer were detected in chicken embryos and different tissues of SPF chickens. Different degrees of pathological damage occurred in the tissue of chickens. After the SPF chickens were inoculated with live attenuated DEV vaccine, different degrees of virulence were exhibited, pointing to a potential risk to other domestic bird species.

Abstract
Duck viral enteritis is an acute, contagious infection of Anatidae family members. The disease is caused by Anatid herpesvirus 1 (AnHV-1). The infection of AnHV-1 is controlled by vaccination to the flock with chick embryo adapted attenuated vaccine in developed countries. However, its economic impact in developing countries is substantial and there is a need to understand the cell culture spectrum of the virus to produce its vaccine on a mass scale. In the present study, the permissivity of AnHV-1 for different cells was analyzed. The AnHV-1 showed enhanced replication following its serial passage in CEF, DF-1, Vero, MDCK, and QT-35 cells. The characteristic cytopathic effect (CPE) of rounding and clumping of cells were observed in CEF, DF-1, Vero, and QT-35 cell lines. The infectivity and viral replication were highest in CEF, DF-1, Vero, and QT-35 cells. In contrast, the results suggested that MDCK cells are less permissive for AnHV-1 infection with negligible CPE and reduced viral replication. Heterologous cell culture systems other than chicken embryo fibroblasts to adapted live vaccine viruses will provide a system devoid of other avian infectious agents. Moreover, it can be used for the propagation and cultivation of AnHV-1 vaccine strain for developing cell culture-based vaccines with high titer and could be an economical alternative for the existing options.

Abstract
To better understand the pathogenicity of duck plague virus (DPV). The DPV Chinese standard challenge strain (DPV CSC) was continuously passaged 20 times in duck embryo fibroblasts (DEFs). DPV F1 was lethal for 2-week-ducks, but DPV F10 and F20 were not lethal for 2-week ducks, the 528 bp in UL2 region of DPV F1-F20 was deleted, which suggested that the deletion in UL2 region was not related with the virulence of DPV. Compared with DPV F20 infected ducks, IL-8 in DPV F1 infected ducks was significantly upregulated, but IL-1, IL-2,IFNγ and MHC-II were significantly downregulated. ISKNV copies in DPV F10 and F20 infected ducks were lower than the DPV F1 infected ducks. These results showed that massive viruses replication, upregulation of IL-8 expresssion, repression of IL-1, IL-2, IFNγ and MHC-II expression resulted in serious lesions and high mortality. This study provided a in-depth understanding of the immune-related genes expression in the different virulence of DPV.

Abstract
Growth kinetics of a Vero cells adapted Bangladeshi strain of peste des petits ruminants virus was studied in Vero cells to determine maximum virus yield. One-step growth curve was formulated after determining virus in both supernatant (CFV) and cell lysate (CAV) at different time categories by microtitre plate titration in Vero cells and the viral presence was confirmed by real-time RT-PCR. The virus was first detected in both the supernatants and cell pellets at 12 hpi. The virus titre reached its plateau at 72 hpi. Maximum virus titre of CAV was 6.2 log10 TCID50/ml and that of CFV was 5.2 log10 TCID50/ml at 72 hpi. After that, the titer gradually declined, but maintained at 4.5 log10 TCID50/ml in case of CAV and 4.2 log10 TCID50/ml in case of CFV at 96 hpi. It was concluded that the optimum time point for harvesting Vero cell culture is 72 hpi.

Abstract
Duck virus enteritis (DVE), also called duck plague, is one of the major contagious and fatal diseases of ducks, geese and swan. It is caused by duck enteritis virus (DEV)/Anatid herpesvirus-1 of the genus Mardivirus, family Herpesviridae, and subfamily Alpha-herpesvirinae. Of note, DVE has worldwide distribution, wherein migratory waterfowl plays a crucial role in its transmission within and between continents. Furthermore, horizontal and/ or vertical transmission plays a significant role in disease spread through oral-fecal discharges. Either of sexes from varying age groups of ducks is vulnerable to DVE. The disease is characterized by sudden death, vascular damage and subsequent internal hemorrhage, lesions in lymphoid organs, digestive mucosal eruptions, severe diarrhea and degenerative lesions in parenchymatous organs. Huge economic losses are connected with acute nature of the disease, increased morbidity and mortality (5%-100%), condemnations of carcasses, decreased egg production and hatchability. Although clinical manifestations and histopathology can provide preliminary diagnosis, the confirmatory diagnosis involves virus isolation and detection using serological and molecular tests. For prophylaxis, both live-attenuated and killed vaccines are being used in broiler and breeder ducks above 2 weeks of age. Since DEV is capable of becoming latent as well as shed intermittently, recombinant subunit and DNA vaccines either alone or in combination (polyvalent) are being targeted for its benign prevention. This review describes DEV, epidemiology, transmission, the disease (DVE), pathogenesis, and advances in diagnosis, vaccination and antiviral agents/therapies along with appropriate prevention and control strategies.
