A Newcastle disease virus (NDV)-vectored vaccine expressing clade 2.3.4.4b H5 Hemagglutinin was developed and assessed for efficacy against H5N1 highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) in specific pathogen-free (SPF) chickens, broilers, and domestic ducks. In SPF chickens, the live recombinant NDV-vectored vaccine, rK148/22-H5, achieved complete survival against HPAI and NDV challenges and significantly reduced viral shedding. Notably, the live rK148/22-H5 vaccine conferred good clinical protection in broilers despite the presence of maternally derived antibodies. Good clinical protection was observed in domestic ducks, with decreased viral shedding. It demonstrated complete survival and reduced cloacal viral shedding when used as an inactivated vaccine from SPF chickens. The rK148/22-H5 vaccine is potentially a viable and supportive option for biosecurity measure, effectively protecting in chickens against the deadly clade 2.3.4.4b H5 HPAI and NDV infections. Furthermore, it aligns with the strategy of Differentiating Infected from Vaccinated Animals (DIVA).

Avian reovirus (ARV) has emerged as a highly prevalent pathogen in Chinese poultry, characterized by its high mutation rate, environmental resilience, and dual vertical-horizontal transmission routes, leading to rising chick morbidity and substantial economic losses. To evaluate vertical transmission, 945 dead embryos and 58 weak chicks from a Guangdong hatchery between January 2023 and December 2024 were tested, yielding a 9.6 % (96/1003) ARV positivity rate.

The folding and fusion phases of the neuroectoderm during embryonic development, which form the neural tube, are susceptible to environmental factors. In this study, we aimed to investigate the embryotoxic effects of SY exposure on neural tube development in an experimental model of chicken embryos.

Unlabelled: In the prevention and control of animal diseases, synbiotics combine the principles of probiotics and prebiotics, which play crucial roles in reducing intestinal disorders, such as diarrhea and indigestion, enhancing immune function, and decreasing the incidence of respiratory diseases in livestock and poultry. Following the confirmation of the prebiotic activity of lentinan, this study aimed to use microencapsulation technology to prepare synbiotics composed of () and lentinan. The optimal preparation process for the synbiotic microcapsules was determined through single-factor, orthogonal, and response surface experiments.

Lipid nanoparticles-mRNA play important roles in SARS-CoV-2 infection control. Avian coronavirus infectious bronchitis virus (IBV) comprises eight genotypes with a lack of cross-protection, causing severe economic losses to the poultry industry. Using immunoinformatics methods, five consensus sequence antigens against prevalent IBV strains were designed.

H9N2 subtype avian influenza virus (AIV) remains a major threat to poultry industry. Our previously developed live-attenuated vaccine candidate rTX-NS1-128(mut) demonstrated promising immunogenicity, but its truncated NS1 gene reduced replication in MDCK cells relative to the parental rTX strain. In this study, we engineered an MDCK derived cell line (2G8D5) to enhance replication of interferon-sensitive AIV candidates.
