Abstract
Marek's disease (MD) is a highly contagious lymphoproliferative poultry disease caused by the oncogenic herpesvirus, Marek's disease virus (MDV). MDV strains have shown a continued evolution of virulence leading to immune failure, and MD cases continue to occur. Co-infection of virulent MDV strains is an important factor leading to viral evolution and host immune failure. This study conducted a laboratory diagnosis and analysis of a MDV infected flock. Testing showed that all samples were MDV positive. PCR detection identified a variable 132-base pair repeat (132-bpr) sequence copy number. This indicated that two virulent strains of MDV were co-infecting the flock. Therefore, we performed homology, sequence alignment, and phylogenetic tree analysis of MDV variant genes including meq, pp38, and RLORF4. Two MDV strains had co-infected the flock; one was the 132bpr two-copy characteristic strain (AH2C) and the other was a 132bpr three-copy characteristic strain (AH3C). Specific mutations in AH3C were found, suggesting that it is a new variant strain. Furthermore, the viral load of the two strains in vivo indicated that both strains had high and similar replication ability. There was no significant difference in the proportion of positive samples of the two strains causing disease. In the whole flock, neither strain displayed an obvious advantage. However, there was a dominant strain in individual chickens, with the exception of one sample. This study reported the co-infection regularity of two virulent MDV strains in the same flock, and even in the same chicken in field conditions. In the context of overall epidemiology, this study is a useful reference.

Abstract
Infectious bursal disease (IBD) is one of the main threats to the poultry industry worldwide. In China, very virulent IBD virus (vvIBDV) is the main prevalent virus strain, causing inflammation, immunosuppression, and high mortality in young chickens. To determine whether this acute inflammation can trigger lesions or even death in chickens, it is important to study the mechanism of vvIBDV pathogenicity. Thus, in the current study, we investigated the inflammation response, bursal lesions, and mortality in chickens caused by vvIBDV at different time points postinfection. Results showed an upregulation of proinflammatory cytokines, including interleukin-1β and interleukin-18, and macrophage infiltration in bursa in response to vvIBDV infection. High-throughput proteomic sequencing based on isobaric tags for relative and absolute quantitation showed that chicken macrophage migration inhibitory factor (chMIF) was upregulated uniquely in primary bursal cells infected with vvIBDV compared with infection by nonpathogenic attenuated IBDV. We confirmed that chMIF was upregulated by vvIBDV infection both in vivo and in vitro. Moreover, chMIF was extracellularly secreted by infected DT40 and primary bursal cells. Further experiments revealed that the secreted chMIF could induce migration of peripheral blood mononuclear cells and promote transcription of proinflammatory cytokines in chicken primary macrophages. Notably, these effects of chMIF could be reduced by using an MIF specific inhibitor. Thus, our study elucidates critical molecular determinants underlying vvIBDV-mediated initiation of acute inflammation, which might be pivotal to understand the mechanism of vvIBDV pathogenicity.

Abstract
Marek's disease (MD) is one of the most devastating diseases of poultry. It's caused by the highly infectious alphaherpesvirus MD virus serotype 1 (MDV-1). In this study, a rapid and easy-to-use assay based on recombinase polymerase amplification (RPA) was developed for MDV detection. Primer-probe sets targeting the highly conserved region of Meq gene were designed and applied to the RPA assay. The assay was carried out on a real-time thermostatic fluorescence detector at 39 °C for 20 min. As revealed by the results, no cross-reactions were found with the Newcastle disease virus (NDV), chicken infectious anemia virus (CAV), infectious bursal disease virus (IBDV), avian infectious bronchitis virus (IBV), infectious laryngotracheitis virus (ILTV), avain influenza virus (AIV), avian leucosis virus (ALV), avian reovirus (ARV), Marek's disease virus serotype 2 (MDV-2) and turkey herpes virus (HVT), indicating appropriate specificity of the assay. Plasmid DNA standards were used to determine the sensitivity of the assay and the detection limit was 102copies/μL. To further evaluate the clinical performance, 94 clinical samples were subjected to the RPA assay and 28 samples were tested MDV positive, suggesting that the real-time RPA assay was sufficient enough for clinical sample detection. Thus, a highly specific and sensitive real-time RPA assay was established and validated as a candidate for MDV diagnosis. Additionally, the portability of real-time RPA assay makes it suitable to be potentially applied in clinical diagnosis in the field, especially in resource-limited settings.

Abstract
The cellular DNA sensor cGMP-AMP synthase (cGAS) detects cytosolic viral DNA via the stimulator of interferon genes (STING) to initiate innate antiviral response. Herpesviruses are known to target key immune signaling pathways to persist in an immune-competent host. Marek’s disease virus (MDV), a highly pathogenic and oncogenic herpesvirus of chickens, can antagonize host innate immune responses to achieve persistent infection. With a functional screen, we identified five MDV proteins that blocked beta interferon (IFN-β) induction downstream of the cGAS-STING pathway. Specifically, the MDV major oncoprotein Meq impeded the recruitment of TANK-binding kinase 1 and IFN regulatory factor 7 (IRF7) to the STING complex, thereby inhibiting IRF7 activation and IFN-β induction. Meq overexpression markedly reduced antiviral responses stimulated by cytosolic DNA, whereas knockdown of Meq heightened MDV-triggered induction of IFN-β and downstream antiviral genes. Moreover, Meq-deficient MDV induced more IFN-β production than wild-type MDV. Meq-deficient MDV also triggered a more robust CD8+ T cell response than wild-type MDV. As such, the Meq-deficient MDV was highly attenuated in replication and lymphoma induction compared to wild-type MDV. Taken together, these results revealed that MDV evades the cGAS-STING DNA sensing pathway, which underpins the efficient replication and oncogenesis. These findings improve our understanding of the virus-host interaction in MDV-induced lymphoma and may contribute to the development of novel vaccines against MDV infection. Marek’s disease virus (MDV) is an avian oncogenic herpesvirus that causes a fatal disease in poultry worldwide. Chickens infected with MDV become more susceptible to secondary viral or bacterial infections. However, the mechanisms of MDV-induced immunosuppression and tumorigenesis remain largely unknown. The cGAS-STING pathway is crucial for innate immune responses against both microbial pathogens and intrinsic tumors. Here we identified the MDV oncoprotein, Meq, as an inhibitor of the cGAS-STING DNA-sensing pathway. Mechanistically, Meq interacted with STING and IRF7, and impaired the recruitment of TBK1 and IRF7 to the STING complex, thus inhibiting IRF7 activation and IFN-β induction. Loss of Meq potently enhanced innate immune response, while impaired the replication and oncogenesis of MDV in chickens. Our findings reveal an important mechanism of immune evasion of MDV, instructing us on the virus-host interaction in MDV-induced lymphoma and potential new means to develop MDV vaccine.

Abstract
The prevalence of Marek's disease (MD) caused by Gallid herpesvirus-2 (GaHV-2) has been increasing in chickens in China despite universal vaccination. Among the possible reasons for this trend, of Reticuloendotheliosis virus (REV) contamination in vaccines could lead to co-infection and reduce the vaccine efficacy. Here, we report the epidemiological findings of our continuous surveillance of MD, and an examination of the effects of REV and/or GaHV-2 co-infection. A total of 1230 samples were collected between 2011 and 2015 from 305 flocks covering many of the chicken-raising regions of China. Among these, 606 samples were determined to be GaHV-2-positive, 13.0% of which were found to be co-infected with REV from 18.8% of the flocks. One GaHV-2 strain (HS/1412), a REV strain (HS/1412R), and a GaHV-2 and REV-co-infected strain (HS/1412 GR) were isolated from different chickens of a GaHV-2 and REV co-infected flock. Pathogenicity tests showed that HS/1412 and HS/1412 GR caused disease in all chickens and that HS/1412R induced morbidity in 84.6% of the infected chickens. HS/1412 GR induced 100% mortality and 76.9% tumor formation, which were significantly higher frequencies than those observed with strain HS/1412 (38.5% and 15.4%, respectively) and HS/1412R (0% and 0%). These results indicate that co-infection with GaHV-2 and REV might explain the persistent, sporadic outbreaks of neoplastic disease in some commercial flocks, resulting in a significant economic burden to the poultry industry of China.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Marek's disease virus (MDV) is an oncogenic herpesvirus that can cause T-cell lymphomas in chicken. Long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) is strongly associated with various cancers and many other diseases. In chickens, lncRNAs have not been comprehensively identified. Here, we profiled mRNA and lncRNA repertoires in three groups of spleens from MDV-infected and non-infected chickens, including seven tumorous spleens (TS) from MDV-infected chickens, five spleens from the survivors (SS) without lesions after MDV infection, and five spleens from noninfected chickens (NS), to explore the underlying mechanism of host resistance in Marek's disease (MD). RESULTS By using a precise lncRNA identification pipeline, we identified 1315 putative lncRNAs and 1166 known lncRNAs in spleen tissue. Genomic features of putative lncRNAs were characterized. Differentially expressed (DE) mRNAs, putative lncRNAs, and known lncRNAs were profiled among three groups. We found that several specific intergroup differentially expressed genes were involved in important biological processes and pathways, including B cell activation and the Wnt signaling pathway; some of these genes were also found to be the hub genes in the co-expression network analyzed by WGCNA. Network analysis depicted both intergenic correlation and correlation between genes and MD traits. Five DE lncRNAs including MSTRG.360.1, MSTRG.6725.1, MSTRG.6754.1, MSTRG.15539.1, and MSTRG.7747.5 strongly correlated with MD-resistant candidate genes, such as IGF-I, CTLA4, HDAC9, SWAP70, CD72, JCHAIN, CXCL12, and CD8B, suggesting that lncRNAs may affect MD resistance and tumorigenesis in chicken spleens through their target genes. CONCLUSIONS Our results provide both transcriptomic and epigenetic insights on MD resistance and its pathological mechanism. The comprehensive lncRNA and mRNA transcriptomes in MDV-infected chicken spleens were profiled. Co-expression analysis identified integrated lncRNA-mRNA and gene-gene interaction networks, implying that hub genes or lncRNAs exert critical influence on MD resistance and tumorigenesis.

Abstract
PURPOSE To demonstrate the feasibility of microwave-induced thermoacoustic tomography (TAT) of adult human brain. METHODS We analyzed the electric field distribution radiated from an antenna to acquire homogeneous illumination. We first imaged the anatomical structures in a rat's trunk to validate the thermoacoustic contrast in vivo. We then imaged an agar cylinder through an adult human skull ex vivo to demonstrate transcranial penetration of both microwave and ultrasound. We also analyzed the specific absorption rate to show the conformance to the safety standard for human electromagnetic exposure. RESULTS We successfully acquired cross-sectional images of the rat's trunk in vivo. Major blood vessels and organs are clearly visible. The transcranial image shows that TAT can image through the adult human skull and reveal an agar enclosed by the skull. CONCLUSIONS Microwave-induced TAT of a rat's trunk in vivo and an agar phantom through an adult human skull ex vivo has been demonstrated experimentally. This study demonstrates both the TAT contrasts in vivo and the capability of transcranial imaging, showing potential of TAT for adult human brain imaging with high contrast and penetration.
