Abstract
Duck circovirus (DuCV) is a small, nonenveloped, single-stranded DNA virus with immunosuppressive effects on ducks that leads to slow growth and elevated mortality following mixed infections. Its infection manifests as feather loss, slow growth, swelling of respiratory tissue, and damage to immune organs in ducks. Although single infections with DuCV do not cause noticeable clinical symptoms, its ability to compromise the immune system and facilitate infections caused by other pathogens poses a serious threat to duck farming. Given the prevalence of this disease and the increasing infection rates in recent years, which have resulted in significant economic losses in duck farming and related sectors, research and control of DuCV infection have become especially important. The aim of this review is to provide a summary of the current understanding of DuCV, serving as a reference for subsequent research and effective control of the virus. We focus mainly on the genetics and molecular biology, epidemiology, clinical symptoms, and pathology of DuCV. Additionally, topics such as the isolation and culture of the virus, vaccines and antiviral therapies, diagnostics, and preventative measures are discussed.

[PMID: 38243947 DOI: 10.2174/0113816128276560231218090436] [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: 08/31/2023] [Revised: 10/27/2023] [Accepted: 11/07/2023] [Indexed: 01/22/2024]
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.

Abstract
The mixed infection of duck Tembusu virus (DTMUV) and goose astrovirus (GoAstV) is an important problem that endangers the goose industry. Although quantitative PCR has been widely used in monitoring these two viruses, there is no reliable method to detect them at the same time. In this study, by analyzing the published genomes of DTMUV and goose astrovirus genotype 2 (GoAstV-2) isolated in China, we found that both viruses have high conservation, showing 96.5 to 99.5% identities within different strains of DTMUV and GoAstV, respectively. Subsequently, PCR primers and TaqMan probes were designed to identify DTMUV and GoAstV-2, and different fluorescent reporters were given to two probes for differential diagnosis. Through the optimization and verification, this study finally developed a duplex TaqMan qPCR method that can simultaneously detect the above two viruses. The lower limits of detection were 100 copies/μL and 10 copies/μL for DTMUV and GoAstV-2 under optimal condition. The assay was also highly specific in detecting one or two viruses in various combinations in specimens, and provide tool for clinical diagnosis of mixed infections of viruses in goose.

Abstract
Since the outbreak of short beak and dwarfish syndrome (SBDS) in Cherry Valley Pekin ducks in China, novel goose parvovirus (NGPV) has been isolated. Till now, little is known about the NGPV pathogenesis toward Cherry Valley Pekin ducks. Besides, due to detection of duck circovirus co-infection in SBDS clinical cases, whether sole NGPV infection can reproduce all the typical symptoms of SBDS remains unclear. In this study, based on the NGPV isolate SDJN19, an infectious plasmid clone pJNm containing the entire SDJN19 genome was constructed. Transfection of pJNm in embryonated duck eggs resulted in generation of the infectious virus carrying the genetic marker, named rJNm. rJNm infection of 2-day-old Cherry Valley Pekin ducks reproduced all the typical signs of SBDS, including beak atrophy, tongue protrusion, and growth retardation. rJNm can infect Cherry Valley Pekin ducks through the horizontal transmission route, and the infected ducks exhibited the characteristic SBDS symptoms. A high level of serum precipitation antibodies (above 5log2) were induced in the surviving ducks, however, high viral loads were still detected in the duck organs, suggesting persistent NGPV infection in ducks. By incorporating the homologous Rep1 and VP1 gene from classical GPV, two chimeric viruses rJN-cVP1 and rJN-cRep1 were generated. Duck infection tests revealed that the non-structural protein Rep1 played a crucial role in the NGPV pathogenicity. The present result lays a solid foundation for further exploring how the Rep protein contributes to the NGPV pathogenesis.

[PMID: 33496724 DOI: 10.1637/aviandiseases-d-20-00115] [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: 10/22/2020] [Accepted: 01/25/2021] [Indexed: 11/05/2022]
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.
