为了对一起死亡率高达91.3%、急性死亡的鸿雁病例进行病原学分析,通过细菌分离排除法和病毒分离方法获得致鸭胚死亡病毒(暂命名为FJ-017株)。该病毒无血凝活性,用鹅细小病毒、番鸭细小病毒、鸭呼肠孤病毒、鸭甲肝炎病毒1型、鸭瘟病毒、鸭坦布苏病毒特异引物分别进行扩增,电泳结果显示,仅鸭甲肝炎病毒1型引物可扩增出条带。将扩增产物回收后克隆,序列分析表明FJ-017株与22株DHAV-1参考株的同源率为93.5%-99%,而与DHAV-2和DHAV-3参考株的同源性均为79.9%。遗传进化分析表明FJ-017株与DHAV-1关系密切,在进化树中共处一分支,表明FJ-017株为鸭甲肝炎病毒1型,此为国内外首次报道。
The outbreak of an acute disease caused 91.3% fatality in a swan goose flock in Fujian Province. A Duck hepatitis A virus (DHAV) was isolated from a dead swan goose and designated as FJ-017 strain. The isolated FJ-017 strain had no hemagglutination activity. The genome of FJ-017 strain was amplified in PCR using specific primers targeted for DHAV-1 but not for Goose parvovirus, Duck parvovirus, Duck reovirus, Duck enteritis virus and Duck tembusu virus. Sequence analysis revealed high homology (93.5%-99%) between F J-017 strain and 22 DHAV-I strains in GenBank. The relatively lower homology (79.9%), however, existed between F J-017 strain and two reference strains of DHAV-2 and DHAV-3. Phylogenetic analysis showed that F J-017 strain and DHAV-1 reference strains belonged to a distinct cluster. This was the first isolation of DHAV-1 virus from a swan goose.
