Complete genomes of the first isolates of pigeon adenovirus 1 (PiAdV-1) and Muscovy duck adenovirus (duck adenovirus 2, DAdV-2) were sequenced. The PiAdV-1 genome is 45,480bp long, and has a gene organization most similar to turkey adenovirus 1. Near the left end of the genome, it lacks ORF0, ORF1A, ORF1B and ORF1C, and possesses ORF52, whereas six novel genes were found near the right end. The DAdV-2 genome is 43,734bp long, and has a gene organization similar to that of goose adenovirus 4 (GoAdV-4). It lacks ORF51, ORF1C and ORF54, and possesses ORF55A and five other novel genes. PiAdV-1 and DAdV-2 genomes contain two and one fiber genes, respectively. Genome organization, G+C content, molecular phylogeny and host type confirm the need to establish two novel species (Pigeon aviadenovirus A and Duck aviadenovirus B) within the genus Aviadenovirus. Phylogenetic data show that DAdV-2 is most closely related to GoAdV-4.

Background: Duck adenovirus 3 (DAdV-3) is an emerging pathogen that has caused severe economic losses to the duck industry in China. Recently, the infection of ducks with serotype 4 fowl adenovirus (FAdV-4) has also been reported in China. Therefore, an efficient bivalent vaccine to control the diseases caused by DAdV-3 and FAdV-4 is extremely urgent.

Duck adeno-associated Virus (DAAV) is a novel pathogen that was recently discovered in ducks. To establish a molecular detection assay for DAAV for further epidemiological investigation and pathogenic mechanism. Here, we designed specific primers and probes according to the sequence characteristics of the newly discovered DAAV and then established a TaqMan real-time PCR method (TaqMan-qPCR) for the detection of DAAV.

Fowl adenovirus serotype 4 (FAdV-4) is the main causative agent of hydropericardium hepatitis syndrome (HHS), which has resulted in huge economic losses to the poultry industry in recent years. Hence, a rapid and simple visual detection method is needed for identification of FAdV-4. In this study, three multienzyme isothermal rapid amplification (MIRA) assays, basic MIRA, MIRA-qPCR and MIRA-LFD were developed for detection of FAdV-4.

Article Synopsis
- Fowl adenovirus type 4 (FAdV-4) and duck adenovirus type 3 (DAdV-3) are significant pathogens affecting poultry in China, leading to an economic impact on the waterfowl industry.
- A new qPCR-HRM assay was developed for the sensitive detection and differentiation of these viruses, allowing for accurate identification without cross-reaction with other viruses.
- The assay showed high sensitivity and repeatability, with field tests indicating that FAdV-4 and DAdV-3 infections are present in Muscovy ducks, highlighting the need for further research on their co-infection.
Egg Drop Syndrome 76 in a U.S. Broiler Breeder Flock.

Gaydos Technical Services, LLC, Dallas, TX 75215.
A four-house broiler breeder farm of approximately 35-wk-old hens was diagnosed with egg drop syndrome (EDS'76) utilizing PCR and hemagglutination inhibition (HI) testing. Based on communication with local practitioners, the geographic area near where this flock was located had numerous EDS'76 cases in table egg layers at the time of diagnosis. An egg production drop was seen in the broiler breeder flock over a 7-day period, which prompted an investigation.
