This paper studied the anti-duck hepatitis A virus (DHAV) activities of Astragalus polysaccharide (APS) and its sulfate (sAPS) compared with those of Bush Sophora Root polysaccharide (BSRPS) and its sulfate (sBSRPS). The antiviral activities of APS and sAPS were measured by MTT and real-time PCR methods, in vitro. In vivo experiment, the mortality rate and the evaluation indexes of hepatic injury, peroxidative injury and immune level were measured. Just like the condition of BSRPS and sBSRPS, the anti-DHAV activities of sAPS were stronger than those of APS, both in vitro and in vivo. It indicated sulfated modification could enhance the antiviral ability of polysaccharide. But unlike the antiviral effects of BSPRS and sBSRPS in vivo, APS and sAPS did not reduce the mortality rates as their abilities of scavenging free radicals and alleviating the hepatic injuries were weaker than those of BSRPS and sBSRPS. And they even did not enhance the immune levels.

Duck viral hepatitis (DVH) is a common and serious acute infectious disease that has a significantly impact on the duck farming industry. Duck hepatitis A virus type 3 (DHAV-3) is the major causative agent of DVH in East Asia. Host factor indicators of resistance to DHAV-3 in Pekin ducks were investigated using resistant (Z7R) and susceptible (Z7S) duck lines.

Previous studies by our group and others have highlighted the critical role of hyperinflammation in the pathogenicity of duck hepatitis A virus 1 (DHAV-1), an avian picornavirus that has caused significant devastation in the duck industry worldwide for decades. However, the precise mechanisms by which DHAV-1 infection regulates the inflammatory responses, particularly the production of IL-1β, remain poorly understood. In this study, we demonstrate that DHAV-1 infection triggers NF-κB- and NLRP3 inflammasome-mediated IL-1β production.

DNAzymes effectively inhibit the expression of viral genes. Duck hepatitis A virus type-1 (DHAV-1) genomic RNA carries an internal ribosome entry site (IRES). The IRES initiates the translation of DHAV-1 a mechanism that differs from that of cap-dependent translation.

Duck viral hepatitis type I (DVH I) is a lethal disease in ducklings caused by duck hepatitis A virus (DHAV). Although the commercial vaccine is available for vaccination of one-day-old ducklings or breeder ducks, the disease is still prevalent due to the delayed immune response in ducklings and variable maternal antibody levels in breeder duck flocks. To explore the feasibility of duck interferon-α (DuIFN-α) for control of DVH I, DuIFN-α was expressed as an elastin-like polypeptide (ELP) fusion protein (ELP-DuIFN-α) in E.

Duck hepatitis A virus type 1 (DHAV) infection causes duck viral hepatitis and results in enormous loss to poultry farming industry. We reported that phosphorylated Codonopsis pilosula polysaccharide (pCPPS) inhibited DHAV genome replication. Here we further explored its underlying antiviral mechanisms.
