Abstract
The mixed infection of duck hepatitis A virus 3 (DHAV-3) and novel duck reovirus (NDRV) has caused significant losses to the global duck farming industry. On-site point-of-care testing of viruses plays a crucial role in the early diagnosis, prevention, and disease control. Here, we proposed an RPA-CRISPR Cas12a/Cas13a one-pot strategy (DRCFS) for rapid and simultaneous detection of DHAV-3 and NDRV. This method integrated the reaction of RPA and CRISPR Cas12a/Cas13a in a single tube, eliminating the need to open the lid during the intermediate processes and thereby avoiding aerosol contamination. On this basis, we proposed a dual RPA-CRISPR strategy coupled with a lateral flow analysis platform (DRC-LFA). This circumvented the necessity for complex instruments, enabling direct visual interpretation of results, making the test more accessible and user-friendly. Our findings demonstrated that the DRCFS method could detect DHAV-3 and NDRV at concentrations as low as 100 copy/μL, while DRC-LFA achieved limit of 101 copies/μL within 35 min. Furthermore, when DRCFS, DRC-LFA, and qPCR were employed collectively for clinical samples analysis, all three methods yielded consistent results. The specificity, sensitivity, and user-friendly of these methods rendered them invaluable for on-site virus detection.

Development of the first officially licensed live attenuated duck hepatitis A virus type 3 vaccine strain HB80 in China and its protective efficacy against DHAV-3 infection in ducks. Poult Sci 2024; 103:104087. [PMID: 39094497 DOI: 10.1016/j.psj.2024.104087] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/28/2024] [Revised: 06/15/2024] [Accepted: 07/05/2024] [Indexed: 08/04/2024] Open
Abstract
Duck hepatitis A virus type 3 (DHAV-3) is an infectious virus that is highly fatal to ducklings and causes significant economic losses in the duck industry worldwide. Biosecurity and vaccination are required to control the pathogen. In the present study, we attenuated a lowly pathogenic DHAV-3 clinical isolate, named as HB, by serial passaging in duck embryos, and followed by several adaptive proliferations in specific-pathogen-free (SPF) chicken embryos. The virulence of DHAV-3 at different passages was assessed by infecting 3-day-old ducklings. We found that the HB strain lost pathogenicity to ducklings from the 55th passage onwards. The 80th passage strain (HB80), which achieved good growth capacity in duck embryos with a viral titer of 108.17 50% egg lethal dose per milliliter (ELD50/mL), was selected as a live attenuated vaccine candidate. The HB80 strain did not induce clinical symptoms or pathological lesions in 3-day-old ducklings and showed no virulence reversion after 5 rounds of in vivo back-passage. The minimum effective dose of HB80 was determined to be 104.5 ELD50 by hypodermic inoculation of the neck. Importantly, a single dose of HB80 elicited good immune responses and provided complete protection against challenge with the lethal DHAV-3 strain. Compared with the genomic sequence of the parental HB strain, HB80 had 7 amino acid substitutions, two of them are in the hypervariable region of the VP1 and polymerase-encoding 3D regions, which may play a role in virulence attenuation. Our data suggest that the attenuated HB80 strain is a promising vaccine candidate for the prevention of DHAV-3 infections in China. HB80 has been registered as a New Veterinary Drug Registration Certificate by the Chinese Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs (MARA), and is the first live attenuated DHAV-3 vaccine strain to be officially licensed in China.

Interleukin-2 enhancer binding factor 2 negatively regulates the replication of duck hepatitis A virus type 1 by disrupting the RNA-dependent RNA polymerase activity of 3D polymerase.

Abstract
The interaction between viral components and cellular proteins plays a crucial role in viral replication. In a previous study, we showed that the 3'-untranslated region (3'-UTR) is an essential element for the replication of duck hepatitis A virus type 1 (DHAV-1). However, the underlying mechanism is still unclear. To gain a deeper understanding of this mechanism, we used an RNA pull-down and a matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry assay to identify new host factors that interact with the 3'-UTR. We selected interleukin-2 enhancer binding factor 2 (ILF2) for further analysis. We showed that ILF2 interacts specifically with both the 3'-UTR and the 3D polymerase (3Dpol) of DHAV-1 through in vitro RNA pull-down and co-immunoprecipitation assays, respectively. We showed that ILF2 negatively regulates viral replication in duck embryo fibroblasts (DEFs), and that its overexpression in DEFs markedly suppresses DHAV-1 replication. Conversely, ILF2 silencing resulted in a significant increase in viral replication. In addition, the RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRP) activity of 3Dpol facilitated viral replication by enhancing viral RNA translation efficiency, whereas ILF2 disrupted the role of RdRP in viral RNA translation efficiency to suppress DHAV-1 replication. At last, DHAV-1 replication markedly suppressed the expression of ILF2 in DEFs, duck embryo hepatocytes, and different tissues of 1 day-old ducklings. A negative correlation was observed between ILF2 expression and the viral load in primary cells and different organs of young ducklings, suggesting that ILF2 may affect the viral load both in vitro and in vivo.

Abstract
The duck hepatitis A virus type 1 (DHAV-1) causes rapid death in ducklings by triggering a severe cytokine storm. Pyroptosis is an inflammatory form of programmed cell death that is directly related to an increase in pro-inflammatory cytokine levels. Only a few studies have explored the mechanisms underlying pyroptosis in virus-infected avian cells. In this study, we established an avian infection model in vitro by infecting duck embryo fibroblasts (DEFs) with the virulent DHAV-1 LY0801 strain. DHAV-1 infection induced pyroptosis in the DEFs by activating gasdermin E (GSDME) protein via caspase-3-mediated cleavage. The genes encoding the different structural and non-structural DHAV-1 proteins were cloned into eukaryotic expression plasmids, and the 2A2 protein was identified as the key protein involved in pyroptosis. The HPLC-tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS/MS) and co-immunoprecipitation (Co-IP) analysis established that DHAV-1 2A2 directly interacted with the mitochondrial anti-viral signaling protein (MAVS) both intracellularly and in vitro. Furthermore, we got the results that N-terminal 1-130 aa of 2A2 was involved in the interaction with MAVS and the C-terminal TM domain of MAVS is necessary for the interaction with 2A2 by Co-IP analysis. To our knowledge, this is the first study to reveal that DHAV-1 protein interacts with host proteins to induce pyroptosis. Our findings provide new insights into the molecular pathogenesis of DHAV-1 infection, and a scientific basis for the prevention and treatment of duck viral hepatitis.

Abstract
Duck hepatitis A virus type 1 (DHAV-1) can cause severe liver damage in infected ducklings and is a fatal and contagious pathogen that endangers the Chinese duck industry. The objective of this study was to explore the correlation mechanism of liver metabolism-gut microbiota in DHAV-1 infection. Briefly, liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry and 16S rDNA sequencing combined with multivariate statistical analysis were used to evaluate the effects of DHAV-1 infection on liver metabolism, gut microbiota regulation, and other potential mechanisms in ducklings. In DHAV-1-infected ducklings at 72 h postinfection, changes were found in metabolites associated with key metabolic pathways such as lipid metabolism, sugar metabolism, and nucleotide metabolism, which participated in signaling networks and ultimately affecting the function of the liver. The abundance and composition of gut microbiota were also changed, and gut microbiota is significantly involved in lipid metabolism in the liver. The evident correlation between gut microbiota and liver metabolites indicates that DHAV-host gut microbiome interactions play important roles in the development of duck viral hepatitis (DVH).

Abstract
To investigate the distribution and genetic variation in four vertically transmitted duck pathogens, including duck hepatitis B virus (DHBV), duck circovirus (DuCV), duck hepatitis A virus 3 (DHAV-3), and avian reoviruses (ARV), we conducted an epidemiology study using PCR and RT-PCR assays on a duck population. We found that DHBV was the most prevalent virus (69.74%), followed by DuCV (39.48%), and then ARV (19.92%) and DHAV-3 (8.49%). Among the 271 duck samples, two, three or four viruses were detected in the same samples, indicating that the coinfection of vertical transmission agents is common in ducks. The genetic analysis results showed that all four identified DuCV strains belonged to genotype 1, the DHAV-3 strain was closely clustered with previously identified strains from China, and the ARV stain was clustered under genotype 1. These indicate that different viral strains are circulating among the ducks. Our findings will improve the knowledge of the evolution of DuCV, DHAV-3, and ARV, and help choose suitable strains for vaccination.

Abstract
Duck hepatitis A virus (DHAV) is one of key pathogens for duck viral hepatitis, especially in Asian duck industry. Currently, two main genotypes (DHAV-1 and -3) exist. To explore insightfully the evolutionary character, we assessed the available 141 full-length genome sequences of DHAV isolated in 1986-2020 globally and divided DHAV-1 and DHAV-3 into further seven (DHAV-1 a-g) and five (DHAV-3 a-e) sub-clades, respectively. Phylogenetic and phylogeographic network analyses indicated great genetic diversity of DHAV identified in China, where the DHAV-1 cluster and DHAV-3 cluster were linked by virus strain HDHV1-BJ (GenBank ID: FJ157172.1) and Du_CH_LSD_090612 (GenBank ID: JF828995.1) via a long mutational branch and intermediate strains. Several strains previously identified as DHAV-1 according to the partial gene sequences were actually clustered within DHAV-3 in full-length genome-based analysis. Furthermore, we identified 32 recombination events across virus genome with the recombination hotspot at the 5' end and upstream of the capsid coding region. The highest variability of DHAV polyprotein was shown at the upstream region of the N terminus P-loop region, e.g., amino acids 672-716, followed by the aa 334-359 in the Capsid encoding region. The results presented here provides a robust insight into the genetic exchange patterns of DHAV genomes during the past decades, which may be used to map the evolutionary history and facilitate preventive measures of DHAVs.

Abstract
Sudden death of ducklings was reported in a duck farm located at Tiruvallur district in Tamil Nadu, India. Disease investigation began with post mortem findings of dead birds revealing enlarged pale-pink / pale-yellow liver with multifocal petechiae and ecchymosis. A positive amplification with duck hepatitis A virus specific primers by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) on the tissue samples collected from dead birds indicated infection by duck hepatitis A virus (DHAV), an avian picornavirus, known to cause acute and high-mortality in ducklings. The virus isolation was successful in 9-days old embryonated chicken eggs, in primary chicken embryo fibroblast (CEF) cells and from experimentally infected ducklings. The embryonic death on day 5 to 7 post inoculation in chicken embryos with signs of cutaneous hemorrhage, edema and greenish yellow liver together with histopathology of embryonic liver and kidney further confirmed DHAV infection. TEM analysis of the infected allantoic fluid and infected CEF cell culture supernatant showed the presence of spherical shaped, non-enveloped virion particles of ~ 20-38 nm diameter, typical for DHAV. Experimental infection of ducklings with RT-PCR positive tissue supernatant caused 40% to 50% mortality with typical petechial hemorrhages on the surface of liver. Further, histopathological analysis and RT-PCR of the inoculated duckling's tissues confirmed the presence of DHAV. Nucleotide sequencing of the 5'UTR region and VP1 region confirmed duck hepatitis A virus genotype 2 (DHAV-2). To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of laboratory confirmation of DHAV-2 in India. This study warrants the need for the extensive epidemiological surveillance to understand the prevalence of DHAV-2 in India and to take appropriate control measures to curtail the disease spread.

Xu G, Yan H, Zhu Y, Xie Z, Zhang R, Jiang S. Duck hepatitis A virus type 1 transmission by exosomes establishes a productive infection in vivo and in vitro. Vet Microbiol 2023; 277:109621. [PMID: 36525908 DOI: 10.1016/j.vetmic.2022.109621] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/21/2022] [Revised: 11/11/2022] [Accepted: 12/04/2022] [Indexed: 12/12/2022]
Abstract
Duck hepatitis A virus type 1 (DHAV-1) infection causes an acute and highly fatal disease in young ducklings. Exosomes are nano-sized small extracellular vesicles secreted by various cells, which participate in intercellular communication and play a key role in the physiological and pathological processes. However, the role of exosomes in DHAV-1 transmission remains unknown. In this study, through RT-PCR, WB analysis and TEM observation, the complete DHAV-1 genomic RNA, partial viral proteins, and virions were respectively identified in the exosomes derived from DHAV-1-infected duck embryo fibroblasts (DEFs). The productive DHAV-1 infection was transmitted by exosomes in DEFs, duck embryos, and ducklings, and high titers of neutralizing antibodies completely blocked DHAV-1 infection but did not significantly neutralize exosome-mediated DHAV-1 infection. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report that exosome-mediated DHAV-1 infection was resistant to antibody neutralization in vivo and in vitro, which might be an immune evasion mechanism of DHAV-1.

DHAV 3CD targets IRF7 and RIG-I proteins to block the type I interferon upstream signaling pathway. Vet Res 2023; 54:5.

Abstract
Duck hepatitis A virus type 1 (DHAV-1) is an acute, highly lethal infectious agent that infects ducklings and causes up to 95% mortality in ducklings up to 1 week of age, posing a significant economic threat to the duck farming industry. Previous studies have found that the proteolytic enzyme 3 C encoded by DHAV-1 can inhibit the IRF7 protein from blocking the upstream signaling pathway of the type I interferon to promote viral replication. However, there are still few studies on the mechanism of DHAV-1 in immune evasion. Here, we demonstrate that the DHAV-1 3CD protein can interact with IRF7 protein and reduce IRF7 protein expression without directly affecting IRF7 protein nuclear translocation. Further studies showed that the 3CD protein could reduce the expression of RIG-I protein without affecting its transcription level. Furthermore, we found that the 3CD protein interacted with the N-terminal structural domain of RIG-I protein, interfered with the interaction between RIG-I and MAVS, and degraded RIG-I protein through the proteasomal degradation pathway, thereby inhibiting its mediated antiviral innate immunity to promote DHAV-1 replication. These data suggest a novel immune evasion mechanism of DHAV-1 mediated by the 3CD protein, and the results of this experiment are expected to improve the understanding of the biological functions of the viral precursor protein and provide scientific data to elucidate the mechanism of DHAV-1 infection and pathogenesis.

Abstract
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.

Abstract
In this study, we sought to develop a subunit vaccine against the increasingly prevalent Duck hepatitis A virus serotype 3 (DHAV-3). The VP1 protein of DHAV-3 and a truncated version containing the C-terminal region of VP1, termed VP1-C, were expressed recombinantly in Escherichia coli as vaccine antigens. For enhanced immune response, a truncated version of flagellin, nFliC, was included as vaccine adjuvant. Ducklings were vaccinated once for immune response analysis and challenge test. Results showed that VP1-C elicited a higher level of virus-specific antibody response and neutralization titer than VP1. The addition of nFliC further enhanced the antibody response. In terms of cellular immune response, the VP1-C + nFliC vaccine elicited the highest level of T cell proliferation among the vaccine formulations tested. Examination of the cytokine expression profile showed that peripheral blood mononuclear cells from the VP1-C + nFliC vaccine group expressed the highest levels of pro-inflammatory (IL-6) and TH-1 type (IL-12 and IFN-γ) cytokines. Finally, in a DHAV-3 challenge test, the VP1-C + nFliC vaccine provided a 75% protection rate (n = 8), in contrast to 25% for the VP1 vaccine. In conclusion, E. coli-expressed VP1-C has been shown to be a promising antigen when combined with nFliC and may be further developed as a single-dose subunit vaccine against DHAV-3.

Optimization of Heat-Resistance Technology for a Duck Hepatitis Lyophilized Live Vaccine. Vaccines (Basel) 2022; 10:vaccines10020269. [PMID: 35214727 PMCID: PMC8880185 DOI: 10.3390/vaccines10020269] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/28/2021] [Revised: 01/23/2022] [Accepted: 01/25/2022] [Indexed: 02/05/2023] Open
Abstract
In this study, to improve the quality of a live attenuated vaccine for duck viral hepatitis (DHV), the lyophilization of a heat-resistant duck hepatitis virus vaccine was optimized. The optimized heat protectors were made of 10% sucrose, 1.2% pullulan, 0.5% PVP, and 1% arginine, etc., with a titer freeze-drying loss of ≤0.50 Lg. The vaccine product’s valence measurements demonstrated the following: the vaccine could be stored at 2–8 °C for 18 months with a virus titer loss ≤0.91 Lg; at 37 °C for 10 days with a virus valence loss ≤0.89 Lg; and at 45 °C for 3 days with a virus titer loss ≤0.90 Lg. Regarding safety, no deaths occurred in two-day-old ducklings immunized with a 10 times dose vaccine; their energy, diet, and weight gain were all normal, demonstrating that the DHV heat-resistant vaccines were safe for ducklings and did not cause any immune side effects. Duck viral hepatitis freeze-dried vaccine began to produce antibodies at 7 d after immunization, reached above 5.0 on 14 d, and reached above 7.0 on 21 d, showing a continuous upward trend. This indicates that duck viral hepatitis vaccine has a good immunogen level. The optimization of the freeze-drying process saves costs and also improves the quality of the freeze-drying products, which provides important theoretical and technical support for the further study of vaccine products.

Abstract
Duck enteritis virus (DEV) and duck hepatitis A virus (DHAV) are prevalent duck pathogens, causing significant economic losses in the duck industry annually. Using a fosmid-based rescue system, we generated two DEV recombinants, rDEV-UL26/27-P13C and rDEV-US7/8-P13C, in which the P1 and 3C genes from DHAV type 3 (DHAV-3) were inserted into the DEV genome between genes UL26 and UL27 or genes US7 and US8. We inserted a self-cleaving 2A-element between P1 and 3C, allowing the production of both proteins from a single open reading frame. P1 and 3C were simultaneously expressed in infected chicken embryo fibroblasts, with no difference in growth kinetics between cells infected with the recombinant viruses and those infected with the parent DEV. Both recombinant viruses induced neutralizing antibodies against DHAV-3 and DEV in ducks. A single dose of the recombinant viruses induced solid protection against lethal DEV challenge and completely prevented DHAV-3 infection as early as 7 days post-vaccination. These recombinant P1- and 3C-expressing DEVs provide potential bivalent vaccines against DEV and DHAV-3 infection in ducks.

Abstract
With the continuous development of duck farming and the increasing breeding density, the incidence of duck hepatitis A virus type 1 (DHAV-1) has been on the rise, seriously endangering the development of duck farming. To reduce the use of antibiotics in duck breeding, susceptibility risks and mortality, and avoid virulence recovery and immune failure risk, this study aims to develop a new type of mucosal immune probiotics and make full use of molecular biology techniques, on the level of genetic engineering, to modify Lactococcus lactis (L. lactis). In this study, a secretory recombinant L. lactis named MG1363-VP1 with an enhanced Green Fluorescent Protein (eGFP) and translation enhancer T7g10L was constructed, which could express the VP1-eGFP fusion protein of DHAV-1. The animal experiment in ducklings was performed to detect the immune response and protection effect of oral microecologics by recombinant L. lactis. The results showed that oral L. lactis MG1363-VP1 significantly induced the body’s humoral immune system and mucosal immune system to produce specific anti-VP1 IgG antibodies and mucosal secretory immunoglobulin A (sIgA) for DHAV-1 in ducklings, and cytokines including interleukin-2 (IL-2), interleukin-4 (IL-4), interleukin-10 (IL-10), and interferon gamma (IFN-γ). The mortality rate was monitored simultaneously by the natural infestation in the process of production and breeding; notably, the ducklings vaccinated with L. lactis MG1363-VP1 were effectively protected against the nature infection of DHAV-1. The recombinant L. lactis MG1363-VP1 constructed in this study provides a new means of preventing and controlling DHAV-1 infection in the future.

Abstract
Duck hepatitis A virus (DHAV), which mainly infects 1- to 4-week-old ducklings, has a fatality rate of 95% and poses a huge economic threat to the duck industry. However, the mechanism by which DHAV-1 regulates the immune response of host cells is rarely reported. This study examined whether DHAV-1 contains a viral protein that can regulate the innate immunity of host cells and its specific regulatory mechanism, further exploring the mechanism by which DHAV-1 resists the host immune response. In the study, the dual-luciferase reporter gene system was used to screen the viral protein that regulates the host innate immunity and the target of this viral protein. The results indicate that the DHAV-1 3C protein inhibits the pathway upstream of interferon (IFN)-β by targeting the interferon regulatory factor 7 (IRF7) protein. In addition, we found that the 3C protein inhibits the nuclear translocation of the IRF7 protein. Further experiments showed that the 3C protein interacts with the IRF7 protein through its N-terminus and that the 3C protein degrades the IRF7 protein in a caspase 3-dependent manner, thereby inhibiting the IFN-β-mediated antiviral response to promote the replication of DHAV-1. The results of this study are expected to serve as a reference for elucidating the mechanisms of DHAV-1 infection and pathogenicity.

Abstract
Duck hepatitis A virus type 1 (DHAV-1) infection is the main cause of duck viral hepatitis, but the replication process and distribution of DHAV-1 in vivo are still poorly understood. In this study, six-day-old ducklings were infected by two different methods: by intramuscular injection to establish DHAV-1 infection animal models and by the combined administration of virus solution orally, through nasal inhalation, through inoculation of the eye, and through intrarectal contact to simulate natural infection. Tissues were collected at different time points and quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) was employed to analyze the gene expression levels of DHAV-1 in different tissues. The results showed that the viral gene levels responded to the different challenge methods. Viral gene expression levels in all tissues in the intramuscular injection group were lower than those in the group that simulated natural infection. In both groups, the liver was the primary tissue that responsible for the replication of DHAV-1 genes, as virus gene level peaked at 4 h post infection (hpi). In addition, the respiratory and digestive tracts were important regions for DHAV-1 infection as high viral gene levels were detected at early (8 hpi) and late (96 hpi) stages of infection. This research utilized a novel infection method to simulate natural infection and analyzed the DHAV-1 distribution in different tissues. The findings can provide guidance for making prevention and control measures.

Abstract
Duck hepatitis virus (DHV) is one of the commercially important diseases of ducklings worldwide. It is an acute and highly infectious disease of ducklings caused by three different serotypes (1-3) of duck hepatitis A virus (DHAV), and serotype 1 is the most common in poultry. To date, little is known about the prevalence and genetic characterisation of DHAV-1 in Egypt. In the current study, isolation and complete genomic analyses of DHAVs circulating in commercial duck farms in different Egyptian governorates were conducted. A total of eighteen samples were collected from six Egyptian governorates of 3-11 days old ducklings (Pekin and Mullard) with a history of nervous signs and high mortality rates. Five out of eighteen (5/18) samples were screened positive for the DHAV-1 based on the VP1 gene. These samples were individually used for virus isolation in embryonated duck embryos (EDE), followed by complete genome sequencing. Phylogenomic analyses showed that DHAV serotype I; genotype I were diversified into four different groups (1-4). Most of the recent circulating Egyptian DHAV strains are clustered within group 4, while isolates characterised within this study were clustered within group 1. Recombination analyses revealed that the emergence of a new recombinant virus-DHAV-1 strain Egypt-10/2019-through recombination. Likewise, the selective pressure analyses showed the existence, inside or near areas of the viral attachment or related functions, of positive scores highlighting the importance of natural selection and viral evolution mechanism at different protein domains. The findings of this study provide updated information on the epidemiological and genetic features of DHAV-1 strains and underscore the importance of DHAV surveillance as well as re-evaluation for currently used vaccines.

Abstract
Several outbreaks of duck hepatitis A virus type 1 (DHAV-1), which were characterized by yellow coloration and hemorrhage in pancreatic tissues, have occurred in China. The causative agent is called pancreatitis-associated DHAV-1. The mechanisms involved in pancreatitis-associated DHAV-1 infection are still unclear. Transcriptome analysis of duck pancreas infected with classical-type DHAV-1 and pancreatitis-associated DHAV-1 was carried out. Deep sequencing with Illumina-Solexa resulted in a total of 53.9 Gb of clean data from the cDNA library of the pancreas, and a total of 29,597 unigenes with an average length of 993.43 bp were generated by de novo sequence assembly. The expression levels of D-3-phosphoglycerate dehydrogenase, phosphoserine aminotransferase, and phosphoserine phosphatase, which are involved in glycine, serine, and threonine metabolism pathways, were significantly downregulated in ducks infected with pancreatitis-associated DHAV-1 compared with those infected with classical-type DHAV-1. These findings provide information regarding differences in expression levels of metabolism-associated genes between ducks infected with pancreatitis-associated DHAV-1 and those infected with classical-type DHAV-1, indicating that intensive metabolism disorders may contribute to the different phenotypes of DHAV-1-infection.

Abstract
Duck hepatitis A virus (DHAV), an avian picornavirus, causes high-mortality acute disease in ducklings. Among the three serotypes, DHAV-1 is globally distributed, whereas DHAV-2 and DHAV-3 serotypes are chiefly restricted to Southeast Asia. In this study, we analyzed the genomic evolution of DHAV-1 strains using extant GenBank records and genomic sequences of 10 DHAV-1 strains originating from a large disease outbreak in 2004-2005, in Hungary. Recombination analysis revealed intragenotype recombination within DHAV-1 as well as intergenotype recombination events involving DHAV-1 and DHAV-3 strains. The intergenotype recombination occurred in the VP0 region. Diversifying selection seems to act at sites of certain genomic regions. Calculations estimated slightly lower rates of evolution of DHAV-1 (mean rates for individual protein coding regions, 5.6286 × 10-4 to 1.1147 × 10-3 substitutions per site per year) compared to other picornaviruses. The observed evolutionary mechanisms indicate that whole-genome-based analysis of DHAV strains is needed to better understand the emergence of novel strains and their geographical dispersal.

Abstract
Duck hepatitis A viruses (DHAV-1, DHAV-2, and DHAV-3) are the predominant causes of duck virus hepatitis (DVH), a disease of ducklings that leads to massive morbidities, mortalities, and economic losses. As a duck-producing country, Egypt suffered lately from several attacks of DVH, despite the regular vaccination of birds. Between Spring 2016 and Summer 2018, 54 duckling flocks in the Sharkia province of Egypt were tested using the reverse-transcription PCR (RT-PCR) based on the DHAV-3D targeting primers. Of them, 27.8% (15/54) were positive. Upon retesting of positive samples using RT-PCR and duck hepatitis A virus (DHAV)-3 VP1-based primers, 33.3% (5/15) contained DHAV-3 RNA. For further analysis at the molecular level, the VP1 and the 3D genes were sequenced using the same primer sets used earlier. The phylogenetic trees confirmed that study sequences belonged to DHAV-3. However, they were displayed as a separate cluster following a geographically dependent distribution. They were also completely unrelated to the Egyptian DHAV-1-based vaccine. This was further confirmed by low nucleotide and amino acid identities in relation to this vaccine. In addition, the VP1 and 3D genes had the same phylogenetic topography. The study VP1 sequences had three unique amino acid substitutions (L59, V208 only in one strain, and C219). As far as we know, this is the first report on DHAV-3 outside Asia, particularly in Egypt. Accordingly, the vaccination strategy against DHAV should be quickly updated to avoid further dissemination of the virus. The epidemiology, pathogenicity, and evolution of DHAV-3 should be carefully monitored in Egypt.

Abstract
Duck viral hepatitis (DVH) mainly affects ducklings under 1 month of age, causes liver necrosis, enlargement, and hemorrhage, and is highly lethal, seriously jeopardizing the duck industry. The prevalence of serotypes DHAV-1 and DAstV-3 is increasing, and co-infection is common. Moreover, the similar clinical characteristics of the DHAV-1 and DAstV-3 infections and high frequency of co-infection make diagnosis difficult. In this study, to establish a method for the rapid simultaneous detection of DHAV-1 and DAstV-3 , two pairs of specific primers were designed according to their conserved gene regions. A SYBR Green I-based real-time PCR assay was successfully established that can quickly and differentially detect the two viruses. Moreover, the assay is highly specific and does not show cross-reaction with other common viruses. The detection limit of the method is 7.34 × 10 1 copies/μL and 3.78 × 10 1 copies/μL for DHAV-1 and DAstV-3, respectively, indicating high sensitivity. A total of 34 clinical samples were tested using the established method; the positive rates for DHAV-1 and DAstV-3 was 14.71% and 8.82%, respectively, and that for co-infection was 2.94% (1/34), which was better than that obtained with conventional PCR. In summary, the SYBR Green I-based real-time PCR assay established in this study has high specificity, good sensitivity and accuracy, high feasibility, and is rapid. Thus, it can be a powerful tool for the co-infection detection of DHAV-1 and DAstV-3 and for future epidemiological studies.

Abstract
Duck hepatitis A virus type 1 (DHAV-1) disease causes significant economic losses to the duck industry. Duck enteritis virus (DEV) is frequently used as a viral vector for aquatic poultry vaccination, but no recombinan DEV expressing DHAV-1 VP0 has been developed. In this study, we established a system for rescuing the DEV C-KCE vaccine strain by transfecting cells with six fosmid DNAs. We generated a recombinant virus (rDEV-ul41VP0) by inserting the VP0 gene of DHAV-1 into the ul41 region in the DEV C-KCE genome. DHAV-1 VP0 was stably expressed in the rDEV-ul41VP0 infected cells, but did not affect the replication properties of DEV C-KCE in cells. Duck experiments showed that rDEV-ul41VP0 could provided full protection against the lethal DEV Chinese standard challenge (DEV CSC) and conferred 70% protection against DHAV-1 161/79 at 3 days postvaccination. These results indicate that rDEV-ul41VP0 rapidly induces protection against DEV CSC and DHAV-1 in ducks, and can be served as a bivalent vaccine against DEV and DHAV-1.

Abstract
Duck hepatitis A virus (DHAV) causes acute hepatitis and mortality, resulting in high economic losses in the duck farm industry. The current study describes the outbreak of DHAV in vaccinated duck farms in North Egypt during 2019 and molecular characterization of the 3' untranslated region (UTR) and viral protein VP1 genes. The 30 samples were collected from 7- to 28-day-old commercial Pekin ducks that showed a history of nervous signs and sudden deaths and were on farms in 6 governorates. DHAV was typed by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) for 3' UTR and VP1 genes and revealed 20 positive farms, with the first detection of DHAV genotype 3 (DHAV-3) in 18 samples and the classic DHAV-1 in 2 samples. The phylogenetic analysis of VP1 and 3' UTR genes of the nine selected strains representative of six governorates revealed that seven strains were clustered with DHAV-3 Chinese and Korean-Vietnamese strains within different subgroups with 92.4%-93.7% amino acid identity; such strains were distinguishable from the vaccine strain of DHAV-1 used in Egypt with 74.4% amino acid identity. The other strains were closely related to the DHAV-1 Asian strain and the vaccine strain used in Egypt with 98.7%-99.6% amino acid identity for the VP1 gene with different clustering than that of recently isolated DHAV-1 Egyptian strains. The VP1 gene of DHAV-3 had 1 hypervariable region (HVR) with 10 amino acid mutations compared with DHAV3/DN2/Vietnam/2011, but DHAV-1 had 3 HVRs with 1 amino acid mutation in HVRII compared with the DHAV-1 vaccine strain. In conclusion, a new introduction of DHAV-3 with the classical DHAV-1 was recorded in Pekin duck farms in North Egypt that is genetically distant from the vaccinal strain.

Abstract
Duck hepatitis A virus (DHAV) causes a highly contagious and acute disease in ducklings younger than 3 weeks of age and spreads rapidly by horizontal transmission to all susceptible ducklings in the flock. To date, there is no evidence of vertical transmission of DHAV-1. In a previous study, we identified a novel DHAV type 1 (DHAV-1) isolate that could infect adult ducks and induce laying drop. In this study, 30 non-embryonated duck eggs and 60 17-day-old embryos were collected from three breeding duck flocks with egg drop syndrome caused by DHAV-1 in China, and 30 17-day-old embryos were randomly selected from the 60 embryos and allowed to hatch. DHAV-1 RNA was detected by RT-PCR in 10 of 30 non-embryonated eggs, 9 of 30 17-day-old embryos, 5 of 7 dead embryos and 5 of 23 newly hatched ducklings. Overall, 29 of 90 (32.2%) eggs and embryos were positive for DHAV-1. Three DHAV-1 strains were isolated from the dead duck embryos of the three breeding duck flocks, respectively. Pathogenicity studies showed that the three DHAV-1 isolates had median embryo lethal doses but were highly pathogenic to healthy ducklings. Compared with the DHAV reference strains, there were two specific amino acid mutation sites (F169 and S220 ) in VP1 of the three isolates. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report that DHAV-1 is isolated from duck embryos. The findings provide evidence of possible vertical transmission of DHAV-1 from breeding ducks to ducklings.

Development of a live attenuated duck hepatitis A virus type 3 vaccine (strain SD70). Vaccine 2020; 38:4695-4703.

Abstract
Duck hepatitis A virus type 3 (DHAV-3) is an important pathogen that causes substantial losses in the Chinese duck industry. DHAV-3 is highly fatal to ducklings and there is no licensed vaccine in China available to reduce DHAV-3 infection. Our goal was to develop a live attenuated vaccine candidate against DHAV-3. A field isolated strain, SD, was attenuated by serially passaging in specific-pathogen-free (SPF) chicken embryos, and it lost its pathogenicity after 40 passages. The 70th passaged strain (SD70), which achieved good growth capacity in chicken embryos with a viral titer of 107.5 ELD50/mL, was chosen to be the live attenuated vaccine candidate. The SD70 strain did not cause clinical signs of disease or mortality in 1-day-old ducklings and showed no virulence reversion after seven rounds of in vivo back passages. The minimum effective dose of SD70 was determined to be 102.5 ELD50 via the vaccination route of subcutaneous inoculation. A single dose of the SD70 provided good protection to susceptible ducklings against the lethal DHAV-3 strain. Compared with the genomic sequence of the parent SD strain, the SD70 had 12 amino acid substitutions, some of which may play a role in virulence attenuation. This study demonstrated that the attenuated SD70 strain is a promising vaccine candidate for the prevention of DHAV-3 infection in China. It exhibited safety, good stability and excellent protection.

Abstract
Duck hepatitis virus (DHV) has always been considered one of the threats endangering duck farming in Egypt since the 1960s. In the current study, suspected DHV samples (n = 30) were obtained from commercial Pekin, Mulard (hybrid), and Muscovy duck farms and backyards in Beheira, Alexandria, Gharbia, Kafr El-Sheikh, and Giza provinces between 2012 and 2017. Diseased 3–21-day-old ducklings showed a clinical history of high mortality rates and nervous signs. Samples were screened by RT-PCR targeting the 5′UTR region and VP1 gene. The PCR-confirmed samples (n = 7) were isolated via allantoic route inoculation onto 9-day-old specific-pathogen-free embryonated chicken eggs. Embryos showed stunting, subcutaneous hemorrhages, and liver necrotic greenish-yellow foci. Duck hepatitis A virus-1 (DHAV-1) isolates were genetically analyzed in comparison to other field and vaccine strains. Phylogenetic analyses of the full-length VP1 gene sequences revealed that the obtained DHAV-1 field isolates clustered into genetic group 4 alongside other Egyptian strains isolated during the same period (95.9–99.72% similarity). Amino acid substitutions in the carboxyl-terminal of VP1 (I180T, G184E, D193N, and M213I) were identified in two strains. Also, deletion mutation at I189 was detected in three DHAV-1 strains. Additionally, the two amino acid residues E205 and N235 were common among the isolated strains and other virulent DHAV-1 strains. Two DHAV-1 isolates originated from Pekin source were selected for conducting the comparative pathogenicity testing based on detected point mutations at C-terminus of VP1. We evaluated the pathogenicity of these isolates by investigating clinical signs, mortality rates, and gross pathological and microscopic lesions. The study revealed that experimentally infected Pekin and Muscovy ducklings showed similar clinical signs including squatting down, lateral recumbency, and spasmodic kicking. Muscovy showed milder pathological changes in the liver compared to Pekin ducklings. Histopathological findings supported the gross pathological lesions detected in both breeds. In conclusion, these data provide updated information on the genetic diversity and pathotyping of Egyptian DHAV-1 strains. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of comparative pathogenicity of recent DHAV-1 strains in Pekin and Muscovy ducklings in Egypt and the Middle East region.

Abstract
Duck hepatitis A virus (DHAV) is one of the pathogens that cause fatal duck viral hepatitis (DVH) in ducklings, which is an acute and contagious disease with a high mortality rate. Despite a continuing official duck vaccination program, DHAV infection remains a major threat to the duck industry. Considerable changes were observed in the epidemiology of DHAV-1/-3 in China over time. Therefore, comparing the pathogenicity of different DHAV serotypes can provide a theoretical basis for the diagnosis and prevention of DVH. In this study, we systematically investigated the effects of infection with DHAV-1/-3 field strains on clinical signs, gross lesions, histopathological changes, viral RNA detection, enzymatic systems, and metabolite concentrations. The results demonstrated that the major macroscopic and microscopic lesions in ducks infected with DHAV-1/-3 in the liver, brain, spleen, pancreas, and kidneys exhibited no significant differences. After 24 h of infection, DHAV quickly appeared in blood and major organs. Significant changes in clinical chemical markers together with histopathological lesions and viral RNA detection indicated that the liver is the major target organ for both viruses, resulting in impaired of liver integrity and function. In addition, we found that both viruses were able to invade both central and peripheral immune organs. Also lipase plasma activity was substantially affected by DHAV-1/-3, indicating that the integrity and function of the pancreas was compromised. However, there was no significant difference in pathogenicity between DHAV-1 and -3. The results of this study provide new insights into the pathogenesis of DHAV-1/3, two viruses that cause serious depression, metabolic disorders, and immunosuppression.

Abstract
Specificity Protein 3 (SP3) is a newly identified regulator of tumor growth and invasiveness in humans. In this study, we identified and characterized the function of duck SP3 (duSP3). The full-length cDNA sequence of the duSP3 gene was cloned via rapid amplification of cDNA ends. It contained 2468 nucleotides, including a 111 base pair (bp) 5'-untranslated region (UTR), 215 bp 3'-UTR, and 2142 bp open reading frame (ORF), which encoded a 713 amino acid (AA) strongly conserved with Avian SP3. Tissue specificity analysis demonstrated that duSP3 was constitutively expressed in the eight tissues tested: liver, spleen, lung, heart, kidney, thymus, breast, and leg; and low expression levels were observed in all tissues, except the spleen and thymus. Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) analysis revealed that duSP3 expression rapidly increased in vitro after stimulation with both the hepatitis virus (DHV-1) and polyriboinosinic polyribocytidylic acid (poly(I:C)). However, the expression under these treatments varied in kidney and liver tissues; in the liver, duSP3 increased significantly at 36 h after the DHV-1 treatment and peaked at 72 h after poly(I:C) stimulation. These results suggested that SP3 may play a positive role in immune responses against viral infections in ducks.

Abstract
During 2015, duck farms (n = 27) in Sharkia Province, Egypt, experienced several disease outbreaks leading to mortality and nervous manifestations. Upon necropsy, the affected ducklings showed liver lesions, such as hemorrhage or necrosis, suggestive of duck virus hepatitis (DVH). Reverse transcription-PCR (RT-PCR), on the basis of the 3D gene, found duck livers from 21 farms to be positive for duck hepatitis A virus serotype 1 (DHAV-1). All duck breeds (Pekin, Mallard, and Muscovy) were infected. The virus was isolated in embryonated chicken eggs, which showed embryonic mortality (40%-80%) within 5-7 days, stunting or dwarfing (69.6%), and necrotic liver foci (60.9%). The VP1 gene of 11 DHAV-1 strains was characterized by RT-PCR and Sanger sequencing. All study strains were clustered in a monophyletic branch within subclade B2 of Group 4 and were separated from the Egyptian vaccine strain. Several amino acid (aa) residues, such as V129, S142 (only in four strains), L181, G184, and K217, were related to virus attenuation. However, two aa residues (N193 and E205), found in virulent DHAV-1 strains, were also observed in our strains. This study confirms the circulation of DHAV-1 (subclade B2) in Lower Egypt and elucidates the phylogenetic characters of the VP1 genes, which will be useful in following the local trends of DHAV-1 infections. Further studies are indicated to determine the correlation between these mutations and the virulence of the Egyptian DHAV-1 isolates.

Abstract
Duck hepatitis A virus (DHAV), the major pathogen of duck virus hepatitis (DVH), causes severe diseases that threaten the duck industry worldwide. The VP1 protein, a major structural protein of DHAV, is able to induce neutralizing antibody in ducks. The purpose of this study was to identify the antigenic mimotope of DHAV by phage display technology. A monoclonal antibody (mAb) 4E6 against DHAV-1 and DHAV-3 was prepared, and a phage library prepared with the PhD-12 Phage Display Peptide Library Kit was screened with the mAb. A novel peptide, 1GLTWKLPPSM10 was identified with high affinity to the mAb and could specifically block mAb 4E6 from binding DHAV-1 and DHAV-3. Animal tests confirmed that the immunization of ducklings with the mimotope could inhibit the virus proliferation and protect the ducklings from DVH. In summary, the neutralizing conformational mimotope 1GLTWKLPPSM10 might be a promising vaccine candidate for the prevention of DHAV infection.

Abstract
Background Duck hepatitis A virus type 3 (DHAV-3) is one of the most harmful pathogens in the duck industry. However, the molecular mechanism underlying DHAV-3 infection in ducklings remains poorly understood. To study the genetic regulatory network for miRNA-mRNA and the signaling pathways involved in DHAV-3 infection in ducklings, we conducted global miRNA and mRNA expression profiling of duckling liver tissues infected with lethal DHAV-3 by high-throughput sequencing. Results We found 156 differentially expressed miRNAs (DEMs) and 7717 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in livers of mock-infected and DHAV-3-infected duckling. A total of 19,606 miRNA-mRNA pairs with negatively correlated expression patterns were identified in miRNA-mRNA networks constructed on the basis of these DEMs and DEGs. Moreover, immune-related pathways, including the cytokine-cytokine receptor interaction, apoptosis, Toll-like receptor, Jak-STAT, and RIG-I-like receptor signaling pathway, were significantly enriched through analyzing functions of mRNAs in the network in response to DHAV-3 infection. Furthermore, apl-miR-32-5p, apl-miR-125-5p, apl-miR-128-3p, apl-miR-460-5p, and novel-m0012-3p were identified as potential regulators in the immune-related signaling pathways during DHAV-3 infection. And some host miRNAs were predicted to target the DHAV-3 genome. Conclusions This is the first integrated analysis of miRNA and mRNA in DHAV-3-infected ducklings. The results indicated the important roles of miRNAs in regulating immune response genes and revealed the immune related miRNA-mRNA regulation network in the DHAV-3-infected duckling liver. These findings increase our knowledge of the roles of miRNAs and their target genes in DHAV-3 replication and pathogenesis. They also aid in the understanding of host-virus interactions.

Abstract
Among the causative agents of duck viral hepatitis, duck hepatitis A virus genotype 1 (DHAV-1) is the most common virus reported in most outbreaks worldwide. How to propagate DHAV-1 in cell cultures efficiently remains a problem to be explored. Here, we aimed to test the effect of serum type on DHAV-1 replication in duck embryo fibroblast (DEF) cells. Comparative studies involved virus culture and passage, observation of cytopathic effect (CPE), virus quantification, and plaque formation assay. From the results of these investigations, we conclude that use of chicken serum (CS) in maintenance medium allows DHAV-1 to establish productive, cytocidal infection in DEF cells, whereas FCS exerts inhibitory effects on DHAV-1 replication, CPE development, and plaque formation. By using a neutralization test, we found that the direct action of FCS on virions is likely to play a key role in inhibiting DHAV-1 replication in DEF cells. Mechanism analyses revealed that FCS inhibits DHAV-1 replication at virus adsorption and reduces extracellular virus yields. The present work may shed light on a new perspective for antiviral agent development, and have provided a virus–host cell system for further studies on molecular mechanism involved DHAV-1 replication and pathogenesis.

Abstract
Autophagy is a tightly regulated catabolic process and is activated in cells in response to stress signals. Despite extensive study, the interplay between duck hepatitis A virus type 1 (DHAV-1) and the autophagy of host cells is not clear. In this study, we applied proteomics analysis to investigate the interaction mechanism between DHAV-1 and duck embryo fibroblast (DEF) cells. In total, 507 differentially expressed proteins (DEPs) were identified, with 171 upregulated proteins and 336 downregulated proteins. The protein expression level of heat shock proteins (Hsps) and their response to stimulus proteins and zinc finger proteins (ZFPs) were significantly increased while the same aspects of ribosome proteins declined. Bioinformatics analysis indicated that DEPs were mainly involved in the “response to stimulus”, the “defense response to virus”, and the “phagosome pathway”. Furthermore, Western blot results showed that the conversion of microtubule-associated protein 1 light chain 3-I (LC3-I) to the lipidation form of LC3-II increased, and the conversion rate decreased when DEF cells were processed with 4-phenylbutyrate (4-PBA). These findings indicated that DHAV-1 infection could cause endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress-induced autophagy in DEF cells, and that ER stress was an important regulatory factor in the activation of autophagy. Our data provide a new clue regarding the host cell response to DHAV-1 and identify proteins involved in the DHAV-1 infection process or the ER stress-induced autophagy process.

The VP3 protein of duck hepatitis A virus mediates host cell adsorption and apoptosis. Sci Rep 2019; 9:16783.

Abstract
Duck hepatitis A virus (DHAV) causes an infectious disease that mainly affects 1- to 4-week-old ducklings, resulting in considerable loss to the duck industry. Although there have been many studies on DHAV in recent years, the effects on host infection and pathogenesis of DHAV-1 remain largely unknown. This study investigated the effects of the DHAV-1 structural protein VP3 on DHAV-1 virus adsorption and apoptosis to explore the role of VP3 in the viral life cycle. The effects of DHAV-1 VP3 and an antibody against the protein on virion adsorption was analyzed by qRT-PCR. The results showed that the virus copy number for the rabbit anti-VP3 IgG-treated group was significantly lower than that for the negative control group but higher than that for the rabbit anti-DHAV-1 IgG-treated group. This result indicates that VP3 mediates DHAV-1 virus adsorption but that it is not the only protein that involved in this process. In addition, a eukaryotic recombinant plasmid, pCAGGS/VP3, was transfected into duck embryo fibroblasts (DEFs), and the apoptotic rate was determined by DAPI staining, the TUNEL assay and flow cytometry. DAPI staining showed nucleus fragmentation and nuclear edge shifting. TUNEL assay results revealed yellow nuclei, and flow cytometry indicated a significant increase in the apoptotic rate. In addition, qRT-PCR revealed increased in the transcriptional levels of the apoptotic caspase-3, −8 and −9, with the largest increase for caspase-3, followed by caspase-9 and caspase-8. Enzyme activity analysis confirmed these results. Furthermore, the VP3 protein decreased the mitochondrial membrane potential, and the transcriptional levels of the proapoptotic factors Bak, Cyt c and Apaf-1 in the mitochondrial apoptotic pathway were significantly upregulated. These data suggest that expression of VP3 in DEFs induces apoptosis and may primarily activate caspase-3-induced apoptosis through mitochondrion-mediated intrinsic pathways. The findings provide scientific data to clarify DHAV-1 infection and pathogenesis.

Abstract
As a disease characterized by severe liver necrosis and hemorrhage, duck viral hepatitis (DVH) is mainly caused by duck hepatitis A virus (DHAV). The positive-strand RNA genome of DHAV type 1 (DHAV-1) contains an internal ribosome entry site (IRES) element within the 5′ untranslated region (UTR), structured sequence elements within the 3′ UTR, and a poly(A) tail at the 3′ terminus. In this study, we first examined that insulin-like growth factor-2 mRNA-binding protein-1 (IGF2BP1) specifically interacted with the DHAV-1 3′ UTR by RNA pull-down assay. The interaction between IGF2BP1 and DHAV-1 3′ UTR strongly enhanced IRES-mediated translation efficiency but failed to regulate DHAV-1 replication in a duck embryo epithelial (DEE) cell line. The viral propagation of DHAV-1 strongly enhanced IGF2BP1 expression level, and viral protein accumulation was identified as the key point to this increment. Collectively, our data demonstrated the positive role of IGF2BP1 in DHAV-1 viral proteins translation and provided data support for the replication mechanism of DHAV-1.

Abstract
Duck hepatitis A virus (DHAV) infection is characterized by severe hepatitis. In recent
years, DHAV-A has become widespread in Asia and has led to economic losses. Conventional
methods of DHAV-A detection must often be performed in the laboratory with inconvenience
equipment. We have developed a rapid reverse transcription insulated isothermal (RT-iiPCR)
technique for the on-site detection of DHAV-A based on the POCKITTM system in a
convenient minitype device. We optimized the PCR primers and probes for the amplification
of the DHAV-A 3C/3D genes, and successfully amplified a specific fragment of DHAV-A, but
no fragment from 18 other duck pathogens. The limit of detection for viral RNA was 49
copies per reaction, and the sensitivity and specificity were each 100% in the analysis of
60 liver samples. By comparison, the sensitivities of RT-iiPCR was comparable in
sensitivity to existing rRT-PCR. Furthermore, the RT-iiPCR results were 98.3% in agreement
with those of the rRT-PCR, with a kappa value of 0.938. In conclusion, this new method not
only offers a higher sensitivity and specificity than existing techniques, but also
time-saving and better suited to field diagnoses because device is portable.

Improved one-tube RT-PCR method for simultaneous detection and genotyping of duck hepatitis A virus subtypes 1 and 3. PLoS One 2019; 14:e0219750. [PMID: 31369566 PMCID: PMC6675107 DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0219750] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/21/2019] [Accepted: 07/01/2019] [Indexed: 11/18/2022] Open
Abstract
Background The cocirculation of duck hepatitis A virus subtypes 1 (DHAV-1) and 3 (DHAV-3) in ducklings has resulted in significant economic losses. Ducklings with DHAV-1 or DHAV-3 infection show similar clinical signs and gross lesions; hence, it is important to identify the viral subtypes in infected ducklings as early as possible for better clinical management. Methods and results Based on multiple 5’ noncoding region (5’-NCR) sequences of DHAV-1 and DHAV-3 strain alignments, universal and type-specific primers were designed and synthesized. With three primers in one-tube reverse transcription-PCR (RT-PCR), reference DHAV-1 and DHAV-3 isolates ranging over 60 years and across many different countries were successfully amplified, indicating that the primer sequences were completely conserved. The sequence results and the sizes of amplicons from reference DHAV-1 and DHAV-3 isolates are completely correlated with their subtypes. Moreover, with this one-tube RT-PCR system, amplicon sizes from liver samples of reference DHAV-1- or DHAV-3-infected birds fit closely with their subtypes, which was determined by virus isolation and neutralization testing. No other duck-origin RNA viruses were detected. The sensitivity of viral RNA detection was 10 pg. With this system, 20% subtype 1, 45% subtype 3, and 9% coinfection of two subtypes were detected in 55 clinical samples. Conclusions and significance This novel approach could be used for rapidly typing DHAV-1 or DHAV-3 infection in routine clinical surveillance or epidemiological screening.

Virus Res 2019; 270:197670. [PMID: 31330206 DOI: 10.1016/j.virusres.2019.197670] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/23/2019] [Revised: 07/16/2019] [Accepted: 07/17/2019] [Indexed: 10/26/2022]
Abstract
The nuclear localization signals (NLS) were usually composed of basic residues (K and R) and played an important role in delivery of genomes and structural protein into nucleus. In this research, we identified that 3Dpol/3CD entered into nucleus during viral propagation of duck hepatitis A virus type 1 (DHAV-1). To investigate the reason that 3Dpol/3CD entered into nucleus, the amino acid sequence of 3CD was analyzed through NLS Mapper program. The basic region 17PRKTAYMRS25 was subsequently proved to be a functional NLS to guide 3Dpol/3CD into nucleus. 18R, 19K and 24R were found essential for maintaining the nuclear targeting activity, and exchange between 24R and 24K had no impact on cellular localization of 3Dpol. Since the entry of 3Dpol/3CD into nucleus was essential for shutoff of host cell transcription and maintaining the viral propagation of picornavirus numbers, our study provided new insights into the mechanism of DHAV-1 propagation.

Abstract
Duck hepatitis A virus (DHAV) is the major pathogen of duck viral hepatitis, which has caused great economic losses to duck breeding industry. As an effective delivery tool for protein antigens, Lactococcus lactis (L. lactis) has been successfully used to stimulate mucosal and systemic immune response. In this study, a recombinant L. lactis named NZ3900-VP1 was constructed, which could express VP1 protein of DHAV type 3 (DHAV-3) by using a nisin-controlled expression (NICE) system. The animal experiment in both mice and ducklings were performed to detect the immune response and protection effect of oral vaccination by the recombinant L. lactis. The results showed that oral vaccination with L. lactis NZ3900-VP1 significantly induced specific anti-VP1 IgG antibodies and mucosal secretory immunoglobulin A (sIgA) of DHAV-3 in mice and ducklings, and cytokines including interleukin-2 (IL-2), interferon gamma (IFN-γ), interleukin-10 (IL-10) and interleukin-4 (IL-4). Notably, the ducklings vaccinated with L. lactis NZ3900-VP1 were effectively protected when facing natural infestation of DHAV-3, which indicated that the recombinant L. lactis could serve as an effective vaccine to prevent DHAV-3 infection in ducklings.

Abstract
Background Duck viral hepatitis (DVH) is a highly contagious viral disease affecting ducks. It can be caused by five agents, including duck hepatitis A virus genotypes 1 (DHAV-1), 2 (DHAV-2), and 3 (DHAV-3), as well as duck hepatitis virus 2 and duck hepatitis virus 3. Since 2007, DHAV-3 has been known to be the most prevalent in East and South Asia. So far, the information regarding the propagation of DHAV-3 in cultured cells is limited. In this study, we describe the comparative studies on the growth properties of DHAV-3 in primary duck embryo fibroblast (DEF) cells using two different strains: a virulent strain C-GY and an attenuated strain YDF120. The effect of fetal calf serum (FCS) and chick serum (CS) on DHAV-3 replication and the mechanism of the inhibitory effect conferred by FCS were also investigated. Results Following serial passages, both C-GY and YDF120 failed to produce cytopathic effect and plaques. The combined quantitative real-time PCR and indirect immunofluorescence staining methods showed that the two viruses could be propagated productively in DEF cells. Investigation of the viral growth kinetics revealed that the two viruses replicated in DEF cells with similar efficiencies, while the viral load of the virulent C-GY strain peaked more rapidly when compared with the attenuated YDF120 strain. Neutralization assay and time-of-drug-addition study indicated that FCS displayed inhibitory effect on DHAV-3 replication. Analysis on the mechanism of action of FCS against DHAV-3 demonstrated that the inhibitory effect was reflected at three steps of the DHAV-3 life cycle including adsorption, replication, and release. Conclusions Both virulent and attenuated DAHV-3 strains can establish noncytocidal, productive infections in DEF cells. The virulent strain replicates more rapidly than the attenuated strain in early infection period. FCS has an inhibitory effect on DHAV-3 replication, which may be attributed to action of a non-specific inhibitory factor present in FCS directly on the virus. These findings may provide new insights into the development of potential antiviral agents.

Abstract
Background Duck viral hepatitis (DVH) is an acute disease of young ducklings with no effective veterinary drugs for treatment. Gynostemma pentaphyllum is a well-known traditional Chinese medicine that plays an important role in the treatment of various diseases. Gypenoside (GP), one of the main ingredients of Gynostemma pentaphyllum, was reported with good hepatoprotective effects. However, its low solubility limits its application in the clinics. To improve its solubility and bioactivity, a phosphorylated derivative of gypenoside (pGP) was prepared by the sodium trimetaphosphate-sodium tripolyphosphate (STMP-STPP) method. An infrared spectroscopy method was applied to analyse the structures of GP and pGP. Then, a methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium (MTT) colorimetric assay was applied to study the hepatocyte protective efficacy of these two drugs against duck hepatitis A virus type 1 (DHAV-1) infection, and qPCR, TUNEL labelling and flow cytometry methods were used to study the relevant hepatocyte protective in vitro. Results The infrared spectroscopy detection results showed that the phosphorylation modification of GP was successful. The MTT colorimetric assay results showed that both GP and pGP possessed good hepatocyte protective efficacy in vitro, and pGP performed better than GP when the drug was added before or after virus inoculation. Furthermore, the qPCR results revealed that both drugs could effectively inhibit the adsorption (when adding GP and pGP pre-virus inoculation), replication and release of DHAV-1, and the viral inhibition rate of pGP was greater than that of GP. The subsequent TUNEL labelling and flow cytometry assays showed that both GP and pGP could significantly inhibit duck embryo hepatocyte apoptosis induced by DHAV-1, and the inhibition effect of pGP was much stronger than that of GP. Conclusions GP exerts good hepatocyte protective efficacy not only by inhibiting the proliferation of DHAV-1 but also by inhibiting duck embryonic hepatocyte apoptosis induced by DHAV-1, and phosphorylation modification significantly improves the antiviral and the anti-apoptotic effects of GP. Therefore, pGP has the potential to be developed into a novel drug against DHAV-1 infection.

Abstract
The avian adeno-associated virus (AAAV) has been proved to be an efficient gene transfer vector for human gene therapy and vaccine research. In this experiment, an AAAV-based vaccine was evaluated for the development of a vaccine against duck hepatitis a virus type 1 (DHAV-1). The major capsid VP1 gene was amplified and subcloned into pFBGFP containing the inverted terminal repeats of AAAV, and then the recombinant baculovirus rBac-VP1 was generated. The recombinant AAAV expressing the VP1 protein (rAAAV-VP1) was produced by co-infecting Sf9 cells with rBac-VP1 and the other 2 baculoviruses containing AAAV functional genes and structural genes respectively, and confirmed by electron microscopy, Western blotting and immunofluorescence assays. Quantitative real-time PCR revealed that the titer of rAAAV-VP1 was about 9 × 1012 VG/mL. Immunogenicity was studied in ducklings. One day ducklings were injected intramuscularly once with rAAAV-VP1. Serum from rAAAV-VP1-vaccinated ducklings showed a systemic immune response evidenced by VP1-specific enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and virus neutralization test. Furthermore, all ducklings inoculated with rAAAV-VP1 were protected against DHAV-1 challenge. The data of quantitative real-time RT-PCR from livers of challenged ducklings also showed that the level of virus copies in rAAAV-VP1 group was significantly lower than that of the PBS group. Collectively, these results demonstrate that the AAAV-based vaccine is a potential vaccine candidate for the control of duck viral hepatitis.

Abstract
Duck hepatitis A virus (DHAV) is a major pathogen of viral hepatitis in ducks, which is a fatal and contagious disease of young ducklings. Despite the identification of numerous DHAV strains (e.g. DHAV-3, DHAV-2, DHAV-1 and DHAV-1a), the pathogenic differences among the different subtypes have not been evaluated. The objective of this study was to compare the pathogenic properties of three epidemic strains DHAV-3, DHAV-1, and DHAV-1a in mainland China, in a Pekin duckling infection model. We evaluated the pathogenicity of these different subtypes by investigating clinical signs, macroscopic and microscopic lesions, immunohistochemical examination, and viral RNA detection after experimental inoculation of Pekin ducklings with the three different DHAV strains. There was no significant difference in pathogenicity between DHAV-3 and DHAV-1. Pathogenicity of DHAV-1a differed significantly from that of classical duck hepatitis A (DHAV-3 or DHAV-1), in that there were no clinical signs of opisthotonos. More importantly, pancreatic bleeding or yellowing, and spleen swelling and bleeding were the predominant lesions in the DHAV-1a group, while liver and spleen lesions were the main signs in classical hepatitis (DHAV-1/3). Our findings indicate that there are differences in the pathogenicity of different subtypes of DHAV in ducklings, which may be useful for understanding the biological characteristics of the different subtypes of DHAV in ducks.

Comparative liver transcriptome analysis in ducklings infected with duck hepatitis A virus 3 (DHAV-3) at 12 and 48 hours post-infection through RNA-seq. Vet Res 2018; 49:52. [PMID: 29925406 PMCID: PMC6011267 DOI: 10.1186/s13567-018-0545-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/28/2017] [Accepted: 02/23/2018] [Indexed: 01/18/2023] Open
Abstract
Duck hepatitis A virus 3 (DHAV-3), the only member of the novel genus Avihepatovirus, in the family Picornaviridae, can cause significant economic losses for duck farms in China. Reports on the pathogenicity and the antiviral molecular mechanisms of the lethal DHAV-3 strain in ducklings are inadequate and remain poorly understood. We conducted global gene expression profiling and screened differentially expressed genes (DEG) of duckling liver tissues infected with lethal DHAV-3. There were 1643 DEG and 8979 DEG when compared with mock ducklings at 12 hours post-infection (hpi) and at 48 hpi, respectively. Gene pathway analysis of DEG highlighted mainly biological processes involved in metabolic pathways, host immune responses, and viral invasion. The results may provide valuable information for us to explore the pathogenicity of the virulent DHAV-3 strain and to improve our understanding of host–virus interactions.

Abstract
Generally, duck hepatitis A virus type 1 (DHAV-1) only infects young ducklings. Since December 2016, severe outbreaks of duck viral infection with egg drop, feed consumption decline, and ovary-oviduct disease have occurred in some laying duck flocks in Shandong Province of China. DHAV-1 isolated from the affected ducks was confirmed as the causative pathogen of the egg drop. Compared with other DHAV-1 strains, the novel isolate has three special amino acid mutation points in the most variable regions at the C-terminus of VP1. The experimental infection in laying ducks indicated that successful immunization with DHAV-1 vaccine could protect laying duck from infection. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first reported incidence of a severe duck disease outbreak involving egg drop syndrome caused by DHAV-1.
