Viruses 2024; 16:765. [PMID: 38793646 PMCID: PMC11125696 DOI: 10.3390/v16050765] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/16/2024] [Revised: 05/06/2024] [Accepted: 05/06/2024] [Indexed: 05/26/2024] Open
Abstract
(1) Goose astrovirus (GAstV) is a novel emerging pathogen that causes significant economic losses in waterfowl farming. A convenient, sensitive, and specific detection method for GAstV in field samples is important in order to effectively control GAstV. Droplet digital polymerase chain reaction (ddPCR) is a novel, sensitive, good-precision, and absolute quantitation PCR technology which does not require calibration curves. (2) In this study, we developed a ddPCR system for the sensitive and accurate quantification of GAstV using the conserved region of the ORF2 gene. (3) The detection limit of ddPCR was 10 copies/µL, ~28 times greater sensitivity than quantitative real-time PCR (qPCR). The specificity of the test was determined by the failure of amplification of other avian viruses. Both ddPCR and qPCR tests showed good repeatability and linearity, and the established ddPCR method had high sensitivity and good specificity to GAstV. Clinical sample test results showed that the positive rate of ddPCR (88.89%) was higher than that of qPCR (58.33%). (4) As a result, our results suggest that the newly developed ddPCR method might offer improved analytical sensitivity and specificity in its GAstV measurements. The ddPCR could be widely applied in clinical tests for GAstV infections.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to develop an efficient and accurate platform for the detection of the newly identified goose megrivirus (GoMV). To achieve this goal, we developed a TaqMan real-time PCR technology for the rapid detection and identification of GoMV. Our data showed that the established TaqMan real-time PCR assay had high sensitivity, with the lowest detection limit of 67.3 copies/μL. No positive signal can be observed from other goose origin viruses (including AIV, GPV, GoCV, GHPyV, and GoAstV), with strong specificity. The coefficients of variation of repeated intragroup and intergroup tests were all less than 1.5%, with excellent repeatability. Clinical sample investigation data from domestic Minbei White geese firstly provided evidence that GoMV can be transmitted both horizontally and vertically. In conclusion, since the TaqMan real-time PCR method has high sensitivity, specificity, and reproducibility, it can be a useful candidate tool for GoMV epidemiological investigation.

Development and application of a multiplex PCR method for the simultaneous detection of goose parvovirus, waterfowl reovirus, and goose astrovirus in Muscovy ducks. J Virol Methods 2024; 324:114857. [PMID: 38029971 DOI: 10.1016/j.jviromet.2023.114857] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/26/2023] [Revised: 11/16/2023] [Accepted: 11/24/2023] [Indexed: 12/01/2023]
Abstract
A multiplex polymerase chain reaction (PCR) method was developed to detect and distinguish goose parvovirus (GPV), waterfowl reovirus (WRV), and goose astrovirus (GAstV). Three pairs of primers were designed based on conserved regions in the genomic sequences of these enteric viruses and were used to specifically amplify targeted fragments of 493 bp from the viral protein 3 (VP3) gene of GPV, 300 bp from the sigma A-encoding gene of WRV, and 156 bp from the capsid protein-encoding gene of GAstV. The results showed that the primers can specifically amplify target fragments, without any cross-amplification with other viruses, indicating that the method had good specificity. A sensitivity test showed that the detection limit of the multiplex PCR method was 1 × 103 viral copies. A total of 102 field samples from Muscovy ducks with clinically suspected diseases were evaluated using the newly developed multiplex PCR method. The ratio of positive samples to total samples for GPV, WRV, and GAstV was 73.53% (75/102) for multiplex PCR and was 73.53% (75/102) for routine PCR. Seventy-five positive samples were detected by both methods, for a coincidence ratio of 100%. This multiplex PCR method can simultaneously detect GPV, WRV, and GAstV, which are associated with viral enteritis, thereby providing a specific, sensitive, efficient, and accurate new tool for clinical diagnosis and laboratory epidemiological investigations.

Abstract
Digital PCR (dPCR) is the latest technique that has become commercially accessible for various types of research. This method uses Taq polymerase in a standard polymerase chain reaction (PCR) to amplify a target DNA fragment from a complex sample, like quantitative PCR (qPCR) and droplet digital PCR (dd- PCR). ddPCR may facilitate microRNA (miRNA) measurement, particularly in liquid biopsy, because it has been proven to be more effective and sensitive, and in this method, ddPCR can provide an unprecedented chance for deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) methylation research because of its capability to increase sensitivity and precision over conventional PCR-based methods. qPCR has also been found to be a valuable standard technique to measure both copy DNA (cDNA) and genomic DNA (gDNA) levels, although the finding data can be significantly variable and non-reproducible without relevant validation and verification of both primers and samples. The SYBR green quantitative real-time PCR (qPCR) method has been reported as an appropriate technique for quantitative detection and species discrimination, and has been applied profitably in different experiments to determine, quantify, and discriminate species. Although both TaqMan qRT-PCR and SYBR green qRT-PCR are sensitive and rapid, the SYBR green qRT-PCR assay is easy and the TaqMan qRT-PCR assay is specific but expensive due to the probe required. This review aimed to introduce dPCR, qPCR, SYBR green PCR kit, and digital PCR, compare them, and also introduce their advantages in the detection of different diseases.

[PMID: 37936127 PMCID: PMC10629041 DOI: 10.1186/s12917-023-03790-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/06/2023] [Accepted: 10/21/2023] [Indexed: 11/09/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Goose astrovirus (GoAstV) is an important pathogen that causes joint and visceral gout in goslings. It has been circulating in many provinces of China since 2017. Goose astrovirus genotypes 2 (GoAstV-2) is the main epidemic strain, and its high morbidity and mortality have caused huge economic losses to the goose industry. An accurate point-of-care detection for GoAstV-2 is of great significance. In this study, we developed a real-time reverse transcription recombinase polymerase amplification (RT-RPA) method for the on-site detection of GoAstV-2 infection. RESULTS The real-time RT-RPA reaction was carried out at a constant temperature of 39 °C, and the entire detection time from nucleic acid preparation to the end of amplification was only 25 min using the portable device. The results of a specificity analysis showed that no cross-reaction was observed with other related pathogens. The detection limit of the assay was 100 RNA copies/μL. The low coefficient of variation value indicated excellent repeatability. We used 270 clinical samples to evaluate the performance of our established method, the positive concordance rates with RT-qPCR were 99.6%, and the linear regression analysis revealed a strong correlation. CONCLUSIONS The established real-time RT-RPA assay showed high rapidity, specificity and sensitivity, which can be widely applied in the laboratory, field and especially in the resource-limited settings for GoAstV-2 point-of-care diagnosis.

Abstract
Goose gout disease is a high morbidity and mortality disease caused by novel serotype 1 goose astrovirus (GAstV-1), which has resulted in huge economic loss to the goose industry of China. However, few diagnostic methods have been developed for serological surveillance of GAstV-1. In our previous study, several novel B cell epitopes were identified in the ORF2 protein of GAstV-1. In this study, one novel peptide of 627-646 aa in the ORF2 recognized by monoclonal antibody (mAb) 6C6 was used as an antigen to develop an efficient peptide-based ELISA (pELISA) for detection of antibodies against GAstV-1. Specificity analysis showed that the pELISA only reacted with sera against GAstV-1, but not with sera against other pathogens tested. The sensitivity of the pELISA in detecting positive sera was higher than that of the IFA (Indirect immunofluorescence assay). The coefficients of variation (CV) of the intra-assay and inter-assay were both < 10%, indicating that the reproducibility of pELISA was good. For detection of clinical samples, the pELISA had 87.5% concordance with the IFA. Our data demonstrate that the pELISA generated here provides an accurate, rapid, and economical method for the detection antibodies against GAstV-1 for serological surveillance.

Abstract
Goose astrovirus (GAstV, genus Avian Astrovirus, family Astrovirus) was first discovered in 2005, but was not considered as a pathogen of gosling gout until 2016. Since then, goose astrovirus has erupted in Chinese goslings, causing at most 50% of gosling deaths. By December 2022, the disease had become epidemic and prevailed in goose farms in Jiangsu, Shandong, Anhui, Henan, Guangdong, Liaoning, Sichuan and other places in China. The disease mainly affects goslings within 3 weeks old. The typical symptoms of goose astrovirus are large deposits of urate in the viscera, joint cavity and ureter surface of infected goslings. Goose astrovirus infection can trigger high levels of iNOS, limiting goose astrovirus replication. The ORF2 domain P2 of the goose astrovirus activates the OASL protein, limiting its replication. Goose astrovirus can also activate pattern recognition receptors (RIG-I, MDA-5, TLR-3), causing an increase in MHC-Ia, MHC-Ib and CD81 mRNA, activating humoral and cellular immunity, thereby hindering virus invasion. Goose astrovirus also regulates the activation of IFNs and other antiviral proteins (Mx1, IFITM3, and PKR) in the spleens and kidneys to inhibit viral replication. The innate immune response process in goslings also activates TGF-β, which may be closely related to the immune escape of goose astrovirus. Gaining insight into the infection and innate immune mechanism of goose astrovirus can help researchers study and prevent the severe disease in goslings better.

Abstract
Fatal gout in geese caused by goose astrovirus (GAstV) has been spreading rapidly in China since 2018, causing serious economic losses in the goose breeding industry. To achieve simple, convenient and sensitive detection of GAstV, a novel diagnostic test was developed by combining reverse transcription-enzymatic recombinase amplification (RT-ERA) and CRISPR-Cas12a technologies. RT-ERA primers were designed to pre-amplify the conserved region of the ORF2 gene of GAstV and the predefined target sequence detected using the Cas12a/crRNA complex at 37℃ for 30 min. Specific detection of GAstV was achieved with no cross-reaction with non-GAstV templates and a sensitivity detection limit of 2 copies. The experimental procedure could be completed within 1 h, including RNA extraction (15 min), RT-ERA reaction (20 min), CRISPR-Cas12a/crRNA detection (5 min) and result readout (within 2 min) steps. In conclusion, the combination of RT-ETA and CRISPR-Cas12a provides a rapid and specific method that should be effective for the control and surveillance of GAstV infections in farms from remote locations.

A Review of Emerging Goose Astrovirus Causing Gout. BIOMED RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2022; 2022:1635373. [PMID: 36072471 PMCID: PMC9441354 DOI: 10.1155/2022/1635373] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/16/2022] [Accepted: 08/11/2022] [Indexed: 11/21/2022]
Abstract
In recent years, an infection in geese caused by goose astrovirus (GAstV) has repeatedly occurred in coastal areas of China and rapidly spread to inland provinces. The infection is characterized by joint and visceral gout and is fatal. The disease has caused huge economic losses to China's goose industry. GAstV is a nonenveloped, single-stranded, positive-sense RNA virus. As it is a novel virus, there is no specific classification. Here, we review the current understanding of GAstV. The virus structure, isolation, diagnosis and detection, innate immune regulation, and transmission route are discussed. In addition, since GAstV can cause gout in goslings, the possible role of GAstV in gout formation and uric acid metabolism is discussed. We hope that this review will inform researchers to rapidly develop effective methods to prevent and treat this disease.

Core antigenic advantage domain-based ELISA to detect antibody against novel goose astrovirus in breeding geese. Appl Microbiol Biotechnol 2022; 106:2053-2062. [PMID: 35254499 DOI: 10.1007/s00253-022-11852-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/23/2021] [Revised: 02/21/2022] [Accepted: 02/26/2022] [Indexed: 11/02/2022]
Abstract
Goose astrovirus (GAstV), the major causative agent of visceral and joint gout in goslings, is a novel pathogen greatly threatening waterfowl industry. Importantly, the horizontal and vertical transmissibility of GAstV posed a great challenge for disease prevention and control. Given the absence of commercial vaccine, restricting vertical transmission and protecting susceptible goslings must be a priority. Although many detection methods have been established, there is no serological method to detect GAstV-specific antibody, greatly limiting inspection and elimination of infected breeding bird. In this study, the B-cell epitopes of GAstV capsid protein were predicted, and its core antigenic advantage domain (shCAP) was expressed and purified. After authenticating the antigenicity, the recombinant shCAP protein was taken as the coating antigen, and an easily accessible indirect enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was established to detect GAstV-specific antibody. The working conditions, including antigen concentration, serum dilution and incubation time, blocking buffer concentration, and color developing time, were gradually optimized by checkerboard titration. The cut-off OD450 value of the indirect ELISA for positive sample was 0.379, and the analytical sensitivity was 1:800. There was no cross-reaction with sera against goose parvovirus (GPV), Tembusu virus (TUMV), H5 and H7 subtype avian influenza virus (AIV H5 + H7), and Newcastle disease virus (NDV). The assay was further applied to examine 73 breeding goose serum samples and shared excellent agreement of 93.5% (68/73) with western blot, which also suggested that GAstV is circulating in the goose population in China. In conclusion, the developed indirect ELISA is simple, specific, and sensitive, which will be greatly useful to screen GAstV infection and block vertical transmission. KEY POINTS: • B-cell epitopes of GAstV capsid protein were predicted and expressed as immunogen • A core antigenic advantage domain-based ELISA was established to detect GAstV-specific antibody • The established ELISA will contribute to inspection and elimination of infected breeding geese and provide a useful tool for large scale serological testing of GAstV in geese.
