Abstract Derzsy’s disease and Muscovy duck parvovirus disease have become common diseases in waterfowl culture in the world and their potential to cause harm has risen. The causative agents are goose parvovirus (GPV) and Muscovy duck parvovirus (MDPV), which can provoke similar clinical symptoms and high mortality and morbidity rates. In recent years, duck short beak and dwarfism syndrome has been prevalent in the Cherry Valley duck population in eastern China. It is characterised by the physical signs for which it is named. Although the mortality rate is low, it causes stunting and weight loss, which have caused serious economic losses to the waterfowl industry. The virus that causes this disease was named novel goose parvovirus (NGPV). This article summarises the latest research on the genetic relationships of the three parvoviruses, and reviews the aetiology, epidemiology, and necropsy characteristics in infected ducks, in order to facilitate further study.

Goose parvovirus (GPV) and Muscovy duck parvovirus (MDPV) are the main agents associated with waterfowl parvovirus infections that caused great economic losses in the waterfowl industry. In 2020, a recombinant waterfowl parvovirus, 20-0910G, was isolated in a goose flock in Taiwan that experienced high morbidity and mortality. The whole genome of 20-0910G was sequenced to investigate the genomic characteristics of this isolate. Recombination analysis revealed that, like Chinese rMDPVs, 20-0910G had a classical MDPV genomic backbone and underwent two recombination events with classical GPVs at the P9 promoter and partial VP3 gene regions. Phylogenetic analysis of the genomic sequence found that this goose-origin parvovirus was highly similar to the circulating recombinant MDPVs (rMDPVs) isolated from duck flocks in China. The results of experimental challenge tests showed that 20-0910G caused 100% mortality in goose embryos and in 1-day-old goslings by 11 and 12 days post-inoculation, respectively. Taken together, the results indicated that this goose-origin rMDPV was closely related to the duck-origin rMDPVs and was highly pathogenic to young geese.

Objectives: To develop a sensitive, highly specific fluorescent quantitative real-time PCR assay for accurate detection and quantification of novel-goose parvovirus (N-GPV) in vitro and in vivo. Methods: Specific primers was designed based on N-GPV inverted terminal repeats region; virus RNA (DFV, NDV, AIV, DHV-1, DHV-3) and virus DNA (MDPV, GPV, N-GPV) were extracted, cDNA (DFV, NDV, AIV, DHV-1, DHV-3) were prepared from viral RNAs using M-MLV Reverse Transcriptase, and prepared cDNA (DFV, NDV, AIV, DHV-1, DHV-3) and DNA (MDPV, GPV, N-GPV) amplified by real-time PCR; the sensitivity, specificity and reproducibility of established real-time PCR methods were evaluated, and finally we validated the reliability of real-time PCR methods in ducklings models in vivo. Results: The standard curve of established real-time PCR had a good linearity (slope was -0.3098, Y-intercept was 37.865, efficiency of standard curve was 0.995); the detection limit of established real-time PCR for N-GPV was 10 copies/reaction. The sensitivity of real-time PCR was 10 copies/uL, which was 1000 times higher than conventional gel-based PCR assay. The results of intra-assay CVs (0.04-0.74%) and inter-assay CVs (0.16-0.53%) showed that the real-time PCR assay had an excellent repeatability. This method also could efficiently detect viral load in heart, liver, spleen, lung, kidney, pancreas, bursa of Fabricius, brain, blood and excrement from ducklings models after N-GPV infection from 6h to 28 days, which could provided us a dynamic distribution observation of N-GPV viral load using this real-time PCR assay in vivo. Conclusion: In the study, we developed a high sensitive, specific and reproducible real-time PCR assay for N-GPV detection. The established real-time PCR assay was suitable for parvovirus detection and quantification simultaneously, no matter sample obtained from blood, internal organs or ileac contents; the present work may provide insight into the pathogenesis of N-GPV and will contributes to better understanding of this newly emerged novel GPV related virus in cherry valley ducks.

Abstract Short beak and dwarfism syndrome (SBDS) emerged in cherry valley duck flocks in China in 2015, and novel goose parvovirus (NGPV) was proved to be the etiological agent of SBDS. To date, whether SBDS-related NGPV isolates possess common molecular characteristics remains unknown. In this study, three new NGPV strains (namely, SDHT16, SDJN19, and SDLC19) were isolated from diseased ducks showing typical SBDS and successfully passaged in embryonated goose or cherry valley duck embryo. The whole genomes of three NGPV strains shared 98.9%–99.7% homologies between each other but showed slightly lower homologies (95.2%–96.1%) with the classical GPV strains. A total of 16 common amino acid point mutations were produced in the VP1 proteins of six NGPV strains (SDHT16, SDJN19, SDLC19, QH, JS1, and SDLC01) compared with the classical Chinese GPV strains, among which nine amino acid sites were identical to the European GPV strain B. The non-structural protein Rep1 of the six NGPV strains generated 12 common amino acid mutations compared with the classical GPV strains. The phylogenetic analysis indicated that the Chinese NGPV strains clustered with the European SBDS-related NGPV strains, forming a separate branch, distinct from the group formed by the classical GPV strains. Taken together, the present study unveils the common molecular characteristics of the NGPV isolates and directs the conclusion that the Chinese NGPV isolates probably originate from a common ancestor with the European SBDS-related NGPV.

Abstract Since the first recognition in the early '60s, Derzsy’s disease has occasioned significant economic losses in the goose meat industry through the world. Today, Derzsy’s disease still maintains its importance for small-scale waterfowl farming, despite not having a remarkable impact on public health. In the present study, we investigated the distribution of goose parvovirus (GPV) strains and its potential variants from the 2019 outbreak in Turkey. The tissue samples were obtained from the infected eggs and the goslings, which were raised in the distinct farming areas of the various provinces. For this purpose, a novel primer set which amplifies the 630 bp of VP3 region was designed to confirm the GPV infection by conventional PCR method. After the diagnosis, 4709 base nucleotide data including structural, non-structural and 5' inverted terminal repeat regions were obtained from the three samples in the Middle Anatolian region. The multiple comparison and phylogenetic analyses together demonstrated that the field strains clustered with European group 2 and presented a series of unique amino acid substitutions which could determine the virulence. These results confirmed the European-related field strains caused the outbreak in minor Asia, which could assist to understand the GPV circulation between Asia and Europe.

Abstract Recently, a novel duck-origin goose parvovirus (N-GPV) was reported to cause short beak and dwarfism syndrome in ducks. In this study, we performed complete genome sequencing and analyzed three different duck-derived parvoviruses that infected different breeds of ducks. Phylogenetic trees based on gene sequences indicated that they were classical goose parvovirus (C-GPV), Muscovy duck parvovirus (MDPV), and N-GPV, respectively. Furthermore, potential recombination events were found. These results improve our understanding of the diversity of duck-derived parvoviruses in the Anhui province, eastern China, and provide a reference for the prevention of associated diseases.

ABSTRACT: Goose parvovirus (GPV), also called Derzsy’s disease, is a viral pathogen that causes high morbidity and mortality in goslings and ducklings. In this study, we perform the molecular characterization of the GPV in Turkey. The definition of similarity to the world of GPV isolates in Turkey and construction of a phylogenetic tree was aimed. For this purpose, the presence of GPV in the liver, spleen, and intestine tissues of nine goslings with symptoms such as dysphagia, bilateral ocular swelling, eye discharge, diarrhea, and fatigue were investigated by real-time PCR method and all samples were detected as positive. According to the data obtained by molecular characterization, phylogenetic analysis of GPV has been presented in Turkey. As a result of this study, it was determined that the GPVs available in Turkey are virulent strains.
