Outbreaks of hydropericardium syndrome and inclusion body hepatitis caused by fowl adenovirus (FAdV) have occurred in China since June 2015, resulting in significant economic loss to poultry industry. In this study, a novel FAdV, designated as AH720, with recombination among serotype FAdV-8a and FAdV-8b was isolated and characterized in China. Full genome analysis revealed that the AH720 has the genome backbone from FAdV-8b and the fibre gene from FAdV-8a. In an infection study, although AH720 was not lethal to chickens, AH720 did cause characteristic lesions of inclusion body hepatitis in the infected chickens. All these data not only provide strong evidences for the recombination among different serotype FAdVs, but also highlight the necessary for monitoring the molecular epidemiology of such recombinant FAdV to develop efficient strategies against FAdV.

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.

The highly virulent genotype fowl adenovirus 4 (FAdV-4), associated with severe hydropericardium hepatitis syndrome (HHS) in poultry from China, is characterized by a large deletion of 1966 bp (1966-del), including losses of ORF19 and ORF27. However, how this virus originated remains unclear. In this study, a novel FAdV-4 strain, HNU-XXY-2019, from diseased chickens, which has a genome size of 45669 bp and is approximately 1966 bp longer than the known FAdV-4 genome from China, was isolated and characterized.

Unlabelled: In poultry, fowl adenovirus (FAdV) and co-infected viruses (such as avian hepatitis E virus, aHEV) are likely to cause decreased egg production, inclusion body hepatitis, and pericardial effusion syndrome. From July to September 2023, eight poultry farms of commercial broilers and commercial layers suffered from increased mortality, decreased egg production, and the presence of hydropericardium-hepatitis syndrome-like gross lesions in Shaanxi province, China. To determine the source of the infection, the viruses of aHEV, FAdV, avian leukosis virus (ALV), Marek's disease virus (MDV), Newcastle disease virus (NDV), and H9N2 avian influenza virus (AIV) were detected.

Background: Fowl adenovirus (FAdV) is a globally distributed virus that inflicts significant economic losses on the poultry industry. The study aimed at pathological investigation, molecular characterization, isolation, and pathogenicity determination of FAdV from commercial poultry.
Methods: A total of 86 liver samples were collected from 80 commercial chicken farms.
