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
Novel duck reovirus (NDRV) causes severe economic losses to the duck industry, which is characterized by hemorrhagic spots and necrotic foci of the livers and spleens. DEAD-box helicase 1 (DDX1) plays a critical role in the innate immune system against viral infection. However, the role of duck DDX1 (duDDX1) in anti-RNA virus infection, especially in the anti-NDRV infection, has yet to be elucidated. In the present study, the full-length cDNA of duDDX1 (2223 bp encode 740 amino acids) was firstly cloned from the spleen of healthy Cherry valley ducks, and the phylogenetic tree indicated that the duDDX1 has the closest relationship with Anas platyrhynchos in the bird branch. The duDDX1 mRNA was widely distributed in all tested tissues, especially in the duodenum, liver, and spleen. Overexpression of duDDX1 in primary duck embryo fibroblast (DEF) cells triggered the activation of transcription factors IRF-7 and NF-κB, as well as IFN-β expression, and the expression of the Toll-like receptors (TLR2, TLR3, and TLR4) was significantly increased. Importantly, after overexpressing or knocking down duDDX1 and infecting NDRV in DEF cells, duDDX1 inhibits the replication of NDRV virus and also regulates the expression of pattern recognition receptors and cytokines. This indicates that duDDX1 may play an important role in the innate immune response of ducks to NDRV. Collectively, we first cloned DDX1 from ducks and analyzed its biological functions. Secondly, we proved that duck DDX1 participates in anti-NDRV infection, and innovated new ideas for the prevention and control of duck virus infection.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In China, Newly emerging duck reovirus (NDRV) variants have been causing major disease problems in cherry valley ducks. NDRV has the potential to cause high morbidity and 5-50% mortality rates. Severe hemorrhagic-necrosis in the liver and spleen were commonly seen in NDRV affected ducks. The availability of upgraded methods for rapid diagnosis of newly emerging DRV variants is crucial for successful DRV infection control and prevention. RESULTS In this study, we present a TaqMan-based real-time PCR assay (RT-qPCR) for the detection of NDRV infection. Using the conserved regions within the NDRV genome, we designed the specific primers and probe. The lower limit of detection for NDRV infection was 10 copies/μL (Ct values: 38.3) after the optimization of the RT-qPCR conditions. By cross-checking with other duck viral pathogens, no cross-reactivity was observed confirming the assay was highly specific for the detection of NDRV. Reproducibility of the RT-qPCR was confirmed by intra- and inter-assay variability was less than 2.91%(Intra-assay variability of Ct values: 0.07-1.48%; Interassay variability of Ct values: 0.49-2.91%). This RT-qPCR and conventional PCR (cPCR) detected one hundred and twenty samples of NDRV infection from different regions. The result shows that the positive rates were 94.17 and 84.17% respectively. The detection rate of RT-qPCR rapid detection assay was 10% higher than that of the cPCR method. CONCLUSION This research developed a highly sensitive, specific, reproducible and versatile of RT-qPCR for quantitatively detecting NDRV. It can be used to study the pathogenesis and epidemiology investigation of NDRV.

The genomic constellation of a novel duck reovirus strain associated with hemorrhagic necrotizing hepatitis and splenitis in Muscovy ducklings in Fujian, China. Mol Cell Probes 2020; 53:101604. [PMID: 32502523 DOI: 10.1016/j.mcp.2020.101604] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/29/2020] [Revised: 05/08/2020] [Accepted: 05/18/2020] [Indexed: 10/24/2022]
Abstract
The complete sequence of a reovirus, strain NP03 associated with necrotic focus formation in the liver and spleen of Muscovy ducklings in Fujian Province, China in 2009, was determined and compared with sequences of other waterfowl and chicken-origin avian reoviruses (ARVs). Sequencing of the complete genomes of strain NP03 showed that they consisted of 23,418 bp and were divided into 10 segments, ranging from 1191 bp (S4) to 3959 bp (L1) in length, and all segments contained conserved sequences in the 5' non-coding region (GCUUUU) and 3' non-coding region (UCAUC). Pairwise sequence comparisons demonstrated that NP03 strain showed the highest similarity with novel waterfowl origin reoviruses (WRVs). The genome analysis revealed that the S1 segment of novel WRV is a tricistronic gene, encoding the overlapping open reading frames (ORFs) for p10, p18, and σC, similar to the ARV S1 gene, but distinct from classical WRV S4 genome segment, which contained two overlapping ORFs encoding p10 and σC. Phylogenetic analyses of the nucleotide sequences of all 10 segments revealed that NP03 strain was clustered together with other novel WRVs and were distinct from classical WRVs and chicken-origin ARVs. The analyses also showed possible intra-segmental reassortment events in the segments encoding λA, λB, μB, μNS, σA, and σNS between novel and classical WRVs. Potential recombination events detection in segment L1 suggests that NP03 strain may be recombinants of novel WRVs. Based on our genetic analyses, multiple reassortment events, intra-segmental recombination, and accumulation of point mutations have possibly contributed to the emergence of this novel genotype of WRV, identified in China.

Abstract
Muscovy duck reovirus (MDRV) causes serious immunodeficiency in the intestinal mucosa, although the underlying histopathological mechanisms remain unclear. Thus, we investigated the impact of MDRV infection on intestinal morphology using hematoxylin and eosin staining. Immune-related cells were also quantified by staining with hematoxylin and eosin, toluidine blue, and periodic acid-Schiff stain, or by immunohistochemistry and cytochemistry for lectin. Similarly, CD4+ and CD8+ cells were quantified by flow cytometry, and the expression of several immune-related molecules was quantified by radioimmunoassay. We found that MDRV clearly damaged the intestinal mucosa, based on tissue morphology, villus length, villus width, intestinal thickness, villus height/crypt depth ratio, and villus surface area. MDRV also altered the density or distribution of lymphocytes, mastocytes, and goblet cells in the small intestinal mucosa, as well as microfold cells in Peyer's patches. In addition, MDRV markedly depleted CD4+ cells from the intestinal mucosa and lowered the CD4+:CD8+ ratio in peripheral blood. Moreover, MDRV diminished the levels of secretory IgA and mucosal addressin cell adhesion molecule-1 (p < 0.01), but elevated those of histamine and nitric oxide (p < 0.01 or p < 0.05). Finally, MDRV significantly suppressed IL-1β, IL-4, IL-5, and IL-8 levels (p < 0.01 or p < 0.05) mid-infection. Collectively, our data suggest that MDRV severely damages the structure and function of the intestinal mucosa by modulating immune cells and immune-related factors, thus leading to local immunodeficiency. Our findings lay the foundation for further research on the pathogenesis of MDRV.

Abstract
Novel duck reovirus (NDRV) disease emerged in China in 2011 and continues to cause high morbidity and about 5.0 to 50% mortality in ducklings. Currently there are no approved vaccines for the virus. This study aimed to assess the efficacy of a new vaccine created from the baculovirus and sigma C gene against NDRV. In this study, a recombinant baculovirus containing the sigma C gene was constructed, and the purified protein was used as a vaccine candidate in ducklings. The efficacy of sigma C vaccine was estimated according to humoral immune responses, cellular immune response and protection against NDRV challenge. The results showed that sigma C was highly expressed in Sf9 cells. Robust humoral and cellular immune responses were induced in all ducklings immunized with the recombinant sigma C protein. Moreover, 100% protection against lethal challenge with NDRV TH11 strain was observed. Summary, the recombinant sigma C protein could be utilized as a good candidate against NDRV infection.

Abstract
A novel duck reovirus (N-DRV) disease emerged in China in 2000 and it has become an epidemic genotype. A test for detection of virus-specific antibodies in serum samples would be useful for epidemiological investigations. Currently, Currently, serological assays for N-DRV diagnosis are not available. A test for detection of virus-specific antibodies in serum samples would be useful for epidemiological investigations. In this study, a highly sensitive and specific indirect enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for the detection of antibodies to N-DRV was developed. The outer capsid (σC) of N-DRV was cloned and expressed in Escherichia coli as a coating antigen. The antigen concentration and serum dilution were optimized using a checkerboard titration. Furthermore, the specificity of σC-ELISA assay was confirmed by cross checking with other duck viral pathogens. In comparison with the western blot, the sensitivity and specificity of the σC-ELISA was 92.6% and 88.9%, respectively, and agreement of two tests was excellent with κ value of 0.786 (p < 0.05). A serological survey was performed using the assay on serum samples from different age and species of duck flocks in the Zhejiang and Jiangsu Province, China. The seropositive rate of the 1209 serum samples was 57.7%. In conclusion, the developed σC-ELISA assay is a very specific and sensitive test that will be useful for large-scale serological survey in N-DRV infection and monitoring antibodies titers against N-DRV.

Abstract
The complete genome sequence of a novel duck orthoreovirus, designated DRV strain TH11(DRV-TH11), was determined and characterized. The DRV-TH11 genome is comprised of 23,417 bp and its genome organization is more similar to that of avian orthoreoviruses (ARVs) of chicken origin than other reoviruses. The results of comparative sequence analysis and dendrograms based on the µB- and σC-encoding genes indicated that TH11 may be derived from the reassortment of ARVs and classic Muscovy duck reovirus (MDRV). A possible recombinant event was identified using the SimPlot program, and it occurred in the M2 segment. The results indicated that reassortment and mutation play a role in the evolution of duck reovirus.

Abstract
AbstractDuring the summer 2012 an incidence of high mortality, above 44 percent, in two flocks of Muscovy ducklings in Poland was noted. The clinical signs included considerable weight loss and inability to walk.During the post-mortem evaluations dehydration and enteritis, gouty kidneys as well as hemorrhagic liver and spleen lesions were found. The laboratory diagnosis included agar gel precipitation assay (AGP) as well as polymerase chain reaction (PCR) or reverse transcription PCR for the presence of goose parvovirus (GPV), duck circovirus (DuCV), duck reovirus (DRV) and avian reovirus (ARV). Interestingly, the examinations performed by AGP showed partial reactivity of liver homogenates from Muscovy ducklings with chicken S1133 antiserum. The presence of duck reovirus RNA was also detected by real-time RT-PCR targeting the chicken reovirus sigma NS fragment, while the sequencing showed major similarity to chicken S1133, 1733, GX/2010/1 and TARV-MN2 reovirus strains. The virus sequence was also related to a previously isolated TH11 strain from Muscovy ducks in China.Further study is needed in order to explain the particular epidemiology of the reovirus infection of Muscovy ducklings

Abstract
A classical Muscovy reovirus was isolated from a sick Muscovy duck with white necrotic foci in its liver in Zhejiang, China, in 2000. This classical reovirus was propagated in a chicken fibroblast cell line (DF-1) with obvious cytopathic effects. Its genome was 22,967 bp in length, with approximately 51.41% G+C content and 10 dsRNA segments encoding 11 proteins, which formed a 3/3/4 electrophoretic PAGE profile pattern. The length of the genomic segments was similar to those of avian orthoreoviruses (ARV and N-MDRV), ranging from 3959 nt (L1) to 1191nt (S4). All of the segments have the conserved terminal sequences 5'-GCUUUU--UUCAUC-3', and with the exception of the S4 segment, all the genome segments apparently encode one single primary translation product. The genome analysis revealed that the S4 segment of classical MDRV is a bicistronic gene, encoding the overlapping ORFs for p10 and σC but distinct from ARV and N-MDRV/N-GRV, which codes for p10, p18 and σC via the tricistronic S1 segment. A comparative sequence analysis provided evidence indicating extensive sequence divergence between classical MDRV and other avian orthoreoviruses. A phylogenetic analysis based on the RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp) and the major outer capsid proteins σC was performed. Members of the DRVs in the Avian orthoreovirus species were clustered into two genetic groups (classical MDRV and N-MDRV genotype), and the classical MDRV isolates formed distinct lineages (China and Europe lineages), suggesting that the classical MDRVs isolated in restricted geographical region are evolving by different and independent pathways.

Abstract
The complete sequence of a reovirus, strain 815-12 associated with necrotic focus formation in the liver and spleen of Muscovy ducklings in China, was determined and compared with sequences of other duck-, goose-, and chicken-origin reoviruses. The 815-12 genome comprised 22,969 bp with 10 dsRNA segments ranging from 1125 bp (S4) to 3958 bp (L1), all of which (except S4) were almost identical in length to the cognate segments of other waterfowl and chicken isolates. Detailed analyses revealed that 815-12 and other waterfowl isolates contained the conserved 3'-terminal pentanucleotide sequence (UCAUC-3') of the orthoreoviruses and 5'-terminal hexanucleotide sequence (5'-GCUUUU) of avian orthoreoviruses (ARVs), and conserved functional motifs previously identified in ARV proteins. Several notable differences, including organization of the polycistronic genome segments and genomic coding assignments of the S segments, existed between viruses represented by 815-12 and the waterfowl reoviruses emerging in China in recent years; the latter was somewhat similar to chicken isolates. Pairwise sequence comparisons demonstrated extensive sequence diversity among the various waterfowl isolates and between waterfowl and chicken isolates. Phylogenetic analyses identified two genetic groups for waterfowl reoviruses, and potential genetic reassortment of segment M2 between waterfowl and chicken reoviruses and segments encoding for λA, λB, μA, μNS and σA between waterfowl reoviruses. Taken together, it was suggested that common designation ARV-Wa should be used to represent ARV isolates from different waterfowl species and that the two ARV-Wa genotypes should be considered as two separate groups distinct from chicken isolates within the species Avian orthoreovirus.

Abstract
The complete genomic sequence of a Pekin duck origin reovirus (DRV) from China was determined. The genome comprises 23,419 bp, with segments ranging from 1,191 bp (S4) to 3,959 bp (L1). Pairwise comparisons and phylogenetic analysis indicate that the Pekin duck origin reovirus is more closely related to the new type of Muscovy duck origin reovirus (N-MDRV) identified recently than to the chicken origin avian orthoreovirus (ARV) and the originally described Muscovy duck origin reovirus (ARV-Md).
