Duck Tembusu virus (DTMUV) has caused significant economic losses to the global duck industry since its outbreak in 2010. The macrophages act as the key immune cell, and its polarization in different functional states is very important for host's immune responses and microbial infections. Avian macrophages are the main target cells of DTMUV, its polarization induced by DTMUV and the underlying mechanisms were explored in this study.

- Chicken infectious anemia (CIA) is a viral disease in chickens that leads to stunted growth and weakened immune systems, resulting in severe economic impacts on the poultry industry.
- A study collected and analyzed 854 samples from 13 cities in Shandong Province, China, from 2020 to 2022, revealing a 17.21% infection rate in 2020, which decreased slightly in subsequent years.
- The analysis showed most infected strains were of genotype A, with minimal genetic variation, indicating a common prevalence of CIA and mixed infections with other viruses in recent years.
