摘要: 为确定安徽省两处鹅场的鹅群发病原因,从2023年6—7月收集到的2份疑似新型鹅星状病毒(goose astrovirus, GAstV)感染病料(其中一例为70日龄育成鹅)中分离病毒,并进行全基因组测序和动物回归试验。结果表明:共分离鉴定出两株GAstV,分别将其命名为HR2306/1、MG-23株。这两株分离株的基因组全长均为7 175 nt,其开放阅读框2(ORF2)的核苷酸和氨基酸序列与2016—2023年其他分离株的同源性高于97%。ORF2编码的氨基酸序列的比对结果显示,这两个分离株与HR2110/1株(作者团队于2021年分离得到)含有共同的氨基酸变异位点,推测这两个分离株可能是由HR2110/1株演变而来的。动物回归试验结果显示,两株分离株对雏鹅有强致病性,与自然感染的雏鹅的临床表现一致,肾表面出现明显尿酸盐沉积。病理切片和免疫组织化学观察可见明显的病理学变化与星状病毒抗原,表明肾为GAstV的靶器官。上述结果说明,GAstV可以感染70日龄育成鹅,且该病毒对雏鹅仍具有较强的致病力。

Abstract:

To determine the etiology of disease outbreaks in goose flocks at two farms in Anhui Province of China, viruses were isolated from two suspected cases of novel goose astrovirus (GAstV) infection collected between June and July 2023 (one case involving 70-day-old growing geese), followed by whole-genome sequencing and animal regression assays. The results demonstrated the successful isolation and identification of two novel GAstV strains, which were designated as HR2306/1 and MG-23. Genomic sequence analysis revealed that both strains had a complete genome length of 7 175 nucleotides (nt). Their ORF2 sequences exhibited nucleotide and amino acid sequence homologies exceeding 97% compared with strains isolated from 2016 to 2023. The alignment of ORF2 encoding amino acid sequences indicated shared variation sites between these two strains and the strain HR2110/1 (a GAstV strain isolated by the authors’ team in 2021), suggesting that HR2306/1 and MG-23 might be evolved from HR2110/1. Animal regression assays confirmed the high pathogenicity of both strains in goslings, with clinical manifestations consistent with natural infections. Characteristic urate deposits were observed on kidney surfaces, while histopathological sections and immunohistochemical analysis revealed significant pathological changes and astrovirus antigens, identifying the kidney as a target organ of GAstV. These findings indicated that GAstV could infect 70-day-old growing geese and retain strong pathogenicity in young goslings.
