Abstract:

 To investigate the prevalence of duck plague virus (DPV),duck hepatitis virus type 1 (DHAV-1),goose parvovirus (GPV) and duck Tembusu virus (DTMUV) carried by duck and goose flocks in China,1 931 samples were collected from clinically healthy ducks and geese in Anhui,Zhejiang,Fujian,Guangdong and Guangxi provinces in November,2014.The four viruses above were detected by real-time PCR.DTMUV and DPV were detected in these specimens with a positive rate of 1.2% and 0.3%,respectively,while no DHAV-1 or GPV was detected.Our results demonstrated the presence of DTMUV and DPV in clinically healthy duck and goose flocks,furthermore,the two viruses carried by duck and goose shared high similarities at the nucleic acid level with the corresponding clinical pathogenic strains.These findings highlight the necessity of active surveillance for healthy waterfowls,in order to prevent transmission of viruses.
