Abstract
BACKGROUND Fowl adenovirus-4 is a causative agent of hydropericardium hepatitis syndrome (HHS) in chickens and has been frequently reported from many countries. Fowl adenoviruses cause severe disease and mortality in broiler and layer breeders in Azerbaijan. Therefore, in this study, pathological lesions and the dissemination of fowl adenovirus-4 into the visceral organs of infected birds were investigated as well as molecular characterisation of detected strains. For this, liver, heart and spleen from 20 necropsied chickens originated from a broiler breeder flock and a layer breeder flock were embeded on the FTA cards and the samples were analysed for adenovirus-DNA by PCR and sequencing. RESULTS The findings of necropsy in both broiler and layer breeder chickens were similar, and the liver was severely effected showing hepatitis, and the heart with hydropericardium lesions. The kidneys were swollen with haemorrhages and small white foci on the surface of the spleens were noted. Intestinal congestion and ecchymotic hemorrhages were also observed in some birds. Fowl adenovirus-4-DNA was detected by PCR in all collected organs of 20 birds. The sequence analysis revealed that fowl adenovirus-4 present in Azerbaijan and close similarity of the hexon genes of the adenoviruses existing in the Middle East, North America, far east and Indian subcontinent were determined by phylogenetic analysis. However, sequence diversity was detected from the adenovirus strains circulating in Europe, North and South America. CONCLUSIONS This study indicates the impact of fowl adenovirus-4 on the poultry health and production, and improved disease control and prevention strategies are necessary to reduce the HHS disease in chickens in Azerbaijan.

Damairia BA, Putri K, Wibowo MH. Examination of macroscopic and microscopic lesions in IBDV-infected organs and molecular characterization of IBDV VP1 gene fragments obtained from commercial broiler farms in Indonesia. Vet World 2023; 16:1061-1070. [PMID: 37576752 PMCID: PMC10420711 DOI: 10.14202/vetworld.2023.1061-1070] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/22/2022] [Accepted: 04/12/2023] [Indexed: 08/15/2023] Open
Abstract
Background and Aim Infectious bursal disease (IBD) is an infectious immunosuppressive disease that affects young chickens. Instead of strict biosecurity practices, vaccination is used to control IBD. However, the disease has not been effectively managed. Variations in the observed clinical symptoms lead to confounding diagnoses. The study aimed to obtain pathological lesion data from chickens suspected of IBD virus (IBDV) infection by gross pathology, confirm IBDV infection through molecular diagnostics, and genotype the VP1 gene fragments of circulating IBDV in the field. Materials and Methods The bursa of Fabricius, thymus, spleen, proventricular-ventricular junction, thigh muscles, and kidneys samples were collected from chickens suspected of IBDV infection from four commercial broiler farms in Central Java and The Yogyakarta Special Region Province between 2021 and 2022. The collected samples were examined histopathologically. Infectious bursal disease virus RNA was extracted from the bursa of Fabricius and VP1 gene was identified by reverse-transcriptase polimerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). The RT-PCR positive sample were sequenced and analyzed in Mega X for homology search and phylogenetic tree analysis. Results Macroscopic pathological lesions in the bursa of Fabricius were demonstrated by enlarged edema and thickened plica, presence of gelatinous exudate, hemorrhage, atrophy, and caseous exudate in the lumen. Moreover, the thymus had atrophy and small gray foci were observed in the spleen. Petechiae or hemorrhage was detected on the thigh muscle, and the kidney was dull and pale. Hemorrhage in the proventricular-ventricular junction was distinct. The histopathological examination of the bursa of Fabricius showed follicular vacuolization, edema, heterophilic infiltration, follicular atrophy, congestion, and hemorrhage. The thymus and spleen showed the presence of multifocal necrosis. Hemorrhage was observed in thigh muscle and mucosal part of proventricular-ventricular junction. Vacuolization was seen in renal tubules (nephrosis). Reverse transcriptase-PCR of 26 bursa of Fabricius samples from chickens suspected of IBDV infection showed four negative and 22 positive samples. Phylogenetic analysis of the VP1 gene fragment has indicated very virulent IBD (vvIBD) and belonged to B2 genotype. Conclusion Infectious bursal diseases virus infection in broiler chicken generated macroscopic and microscopic primary lesions in the bursa of Fabricius and thigh muscle. Other organs such as the spleen, thymus, proventricular-ventricular junction, and kidney, were also involved. Molecular analysis of the VP1 gene confirmed the causative agent and grouped the virus into vvIBD and B2 genotype. All samples were collected from vaccinated birds therefore, the efficacy of available vaccine is required for urgent evaluation. Since most studies only focused on VP1, further exploration on VP2 gene is suggested notably for new-generation vaccines. Monitoring clinical signs' transformation over time could assist field diagnostics.

First Evidence of Fowl Adenovirus Induced Inclusion Body Hepatitis in Chicken in Bangladesh. THE CANADIAN JOURNAL OF INFECTIOUS DISEASES & MEDICAL MICROBIOLOGY = JOURNAL CANADIEN DES MALADIES INFECTIEUSES ET DE LA MICROBIOLOGIE MEDICALE 2023; 2023:7253433. [PMID: 36636334 PMCID: PMC9831704 DOI: 10.1155/2023/7253433] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/23/2022] [Revised: 11/28/2022] [Accepted: 12/20/2022] [Indexed: 01/04/2023]
Abstract
Background The livestock sector contributes 1.90% to the GDP in Bangladesh during 2021-22. Poultry is one of the important subsectors struggling with diseases. Fowl adenoviruses (FAdVs) cause numerous diseases resulting in economic losses to the poultry industry worldwide. Several FAdV serotypes cause inclusion body hepatitis in chicken. Although FAdV infection was suspected, there was no confirmatory report from Bangladesh. The study was conducted to investigate the FAdV infection and antibodies in chicken. Methods A total of 50 samples, each composed of liver and spleen, were collected from different chickens of Gazipur, Dinajpur, and Panchagarh district. Each location belongs to A, B, and C poultry zones of Bangladesh, respectively. Viruses were detected by real-time PCR and conventional PCR. Blood samples (n = 303) were collected at the beginning and after the recovery from infection and tested by indirect ELISA. Sequencing of PCR products was done for serotyping and phylogenetic analysis. Results Clinical signs were observed including anorexia, drowsiness, ruffled feathers, reduced body weight, lack of uniformity, and high mortality (15-25%). Enlarged friable liver with yellow to tan color mottled with the focal soft area, fluid in pericardial sac, swollen and hemorrhagic kidneys, enlarged congested spleen and pancreas, etc. were found on postmortem examination. FAdVs were detected in 90% of the flocks except commercial layer flock from Dinajpur. Three serotypes, namely, 8b (70%), 11 (10%), and 5 (10%) were detected. Anti-FAdV antibody was detected in 80% flocks at the beginning of infection and in 90% of the flocks after recovery from infection. The antibody titer increases significantly (p < 0.05) after recovery from infection. Phylogenetic analysis revealed that the Bangladeshi FAdVs have close identity with viruses from Asia, Europe, and South and North America. Conclusions These findings suggested that several introductions of FAdVs were taken place in Bangladesh. To combat the disease, vaccination along with maintenance of biosecurity is essential.

Isolation and molecular characterization of fowl aviadenovirus associated with inclusion body hepatitis from poultry in Banten and West Java, Indonesia. Vet World 2020; 13:1940-1946. [PMID: 33132609 PMCID: PMC7566239 DOI: 10.14202/vetworld.2020.1940-1946] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/06/2020] [Accepted: 08/06/2020] [Indexed: 02/07/2023] Open
Abstract
Background and Aim: Fowl avidenoviruses (FAdVs) are generally considered ubiquitous, but certain serotypes and strains are known to be associated with primary diseases, such as inclusion body hepatitis (IBH). Since 2018, the outbreak of IBH has been reported in part provinces of Indonesia. This study aimed to isolate and molecularly characterize the FAdV from Banten and West Java Provinces of Indonesia and described the phylogenetic relationship with the FAdV that has been characterized in other countries. Materials and Methods: A total of 25 FAdV archive samples have been collected from January to August 2019 from clinical cases of FAdV infection in Banten and West Java Provinces, Indonesia. Collected samples were inoculated in 10-day-old specific-pathogenic-free chicken embryonated eggs. Hexon gene of FAdV was detected using polymerase chain reaction (PCR) with a primer set from previous study. To gain a better understanding of the FAdV genetic properties and construct the phylogeny tree, the PCR products were sequenced and subjected to a BLAST search and inferred using the neighbor-joining method by bootstrap test 1000×. Results: FAdV-D and FAdV-E are present in Banten, Indonesia. The phylogenetic analysis of 850 nucleotides that encode 289 amino acid of the partial hexon gene shows that the isolates Broiler/MSL/Ciputat-149/18, Broiler/MSL/Lebak-151/18, and Broiler/MSL/Ciputat-29/19 have 100% homology with FAdV-E TR/BVKE/R/D-1 from Turkey, whereas the isolates Layer/MSL/Ciputat-20/19 and Broiler/MSL/Ciputat-30/19 have 100% homology with FAdV-D strain 685 from Canada. Conclusion: The present study provides updates of the circulating FAdV in commercial poultry flocks in Banten and West Java Provinces, Indonesia. Since the FAdV vaccine was unavailable in Indonesia, this result might be used as guidance to select a proper FAdV vaccine strain. Our result indicates that at least two FAdV species were circulating among poultry in Banten and West Java Provinces, Indonesia; they are FAdV-D and FAdV-E.
