Recently, a novel duck adenovirus (designated as duck adenovirus 3, DAdV-3) was discovered in Muscovy ducks, China. Here, we developed a TaqMan-based real-time PCR assay (qPCR) for the detection of DAdV-3 infection. After the optimization of the qPCR conditions, the lower limit of detection for DAdV-3 infection was 40.9 copies/μl. No cross-reactivity was observed with other duck-derived pathogens. Intra- and inter-assay variability was less than 2.30%. DAdV-3 was detected in embryos and newly hatched ducklings by qPCR assay, the findings provided evidence of possible vertical transmission of DAdV-3. The developed qPCR analysis showed high specificity, sensitivity, and reproducibility, thereby indicating that it can be used in future investigations on the pathogenesis and epidemiology of DAdV-3.

Duck adenovirus type-3 (DAdV-3) infections have severe effects on duck health, and rapid detection methods are crucial to reduce the morbidity and mortality associated with this pathogen in clinical practice. In this study, we established, optimized, and validated a novel recombinase polymerase amplification (RPA)-lateral flow dipstick (LFD) assay for the detection of DAdV-3. Next, we established a clinical infection model based on the pathogenicity of the DAdV-3 strain and tested the effectiveness of the RPA-LFD assay in controlling an outbreak of DAdV-3 infection.

Duck adenovirus 3 (DAdV-3) causes liver damage and bleeding, with morbidity rates ranging from 40 to 55% and mortality rates between 35 and 43%. Co-infection with other pathogens complicates disease control, significantly impacting the duck breeding industry. Currently, there have been no effective vaccines or treatments for DAdV-3.

China's burgeoning animal husbandry sector has witnessed a notable expansion in goose farming. Among the various health challenges, a novel goose astrovirus (GoAstV) has emerged as a significant threat to the industry, necessitating prompt detection strategies to mitigate its economic impact. This research introduces a novel detection approach using real-time fluorescence-based reverse transcription recombinase-aided amplification (RT-RAA), offering a rapid and reliable method for GoAstV identification.

A duck adenovirus type 3 strain, SD2019, was isolated from sick Muscovy ducks in our laboratory in 2019. To study the biological properties of the virus, an infectious clone of the SD2019 strain was successfully established. The plasmid containing the whole genome of DAdV-3 was digested with I and the linearized DNAs were electortransfected into LMH cells; the cells showed cytopathic effects (CPEs) at 96 h post transfection and the rescued virus (rSD2019) was identified by PCR and indirect immunofluorescence assays (IFAs).

Background: Duck adenovirus 3 (DAdV-3), the emerging pathogen of a disease characterized by swelling and hemorrhage in liver and kidney, is widely distributed in China, resulting in serious economic losses to the duck farms. However, no vaccine is commercially available for the prevention of the disease. Thus, a precise and reliable diagnosis is of great value for the implementation of control measure to limit the spread of DAdV-3 infection.
