The present study was undertaken to elucidate mRNA expression pattern of RIG-I and serum cytokines profile alterations in indigenous ducks of Assam, India viz. Pati, Nageswari and Cinahanh in response to natural infections of duck plague virus. Field outbreaks of duck plague virus were attended during the study period for collection of tissue and blood samples. The ducks under study were divided into three distinct groups as per health status i.e. healthy, duck plague infected and recovered. Results from the study revealed that RIG-I gene expression was significantly upregulated in liver, intestine, spleen, brain and PBMC of both infected and recovered ducks. However, fold changes in RIG- I gene expression was lower in recovered ducks as compared to infected ones which indicated continued stimulation of RIG-I gene by the latent viruses. Both serum pro and anti-inflammatory cytokines were elevated in infected ducks as compared to healthy and recovered ducks, indicating activation of inflammatory reactions in the ducks due to virus invasion. The results from the study indicated that innate immune components of the infected ducks were stimulated in order to make an attempt to resist the virus from the infected ducks.

Duck plague (DP), which is caused by duck plague virus (DPV), is an infectious disease that severely harms the waterfowl breeding industry. The UL14 protein (pUL14) is a tegument protein encoded by the UL14 gene, which is located in the unique long (UL) region of the DPV genome. DPV pUL14 plays a crucial role in viral replication, likely by interacting with host and viral proteins that have yet to be identified.

Article Synopsis
- * Researchers used reverse genetics to create four DPV mutants with specific mutations in gI's N-glycosylation sites, confirming that three asparagine residues are critical for glycosylation.
- * The mutations lead to reduced replication and transmission of DPV in ducks, highlighting a potential pathway for developing live attenuated vaccines against the virus.

Duck plague virus (DPV), which is the causative agent of duck viral enteritis, is highly infectious and can cause severe disease and death in ducks, geese and other waterfowl. Several tegument proteins of DPV have been shown to affect the cyclic GMP-AMP synthase (cGAS)-STING signaling pathway to modulate host innate immune responses. DPV UL24, an important DPV tegument protein, can inhibit the activity of the IFN-β promoter.

Article Synopsis
- Duck plague virus (DPV) is the only known herpes virus that can be transmitted among aquatic animals, causing immune suppression in ducks, geese, and swans.
- This study focused on the role of long noncoding RNAs (LncRNA), specifically Lnc BTU, in how DPV affects the innate immune response, showing that Lnc BTU not only promotes DPV replication but also inhibits key antiviral factors like STAT1 and interferons.
- The findings suggest that DPV exploits Lnc BTU to evade the immune response, identifying potential therapeutic targets for managing DPV infections in waterfowl.

Introduction: Muscovy duck parvovirus (MDPV), Goose parvovirus (GPV), Duck circovirus, (DuCV) and Duck adenovirus 3 (DAdV-3) are important pathogens that cause high morbidity and mortality in ducks, causing huge economic loss for the duck industry.
Methods: The present study, a quadruplex one-step real time quantitative PCR method for the detection of MDPV, GPV, DuCV, and DAdV-3 was developed.
Results: The results showed that assay had no cross-reactivity with other poultry pathogens [Duck plague virus (DPV), Duck tembusu virus (DTMUV), H6 avian influenza virus (H6 AIV), New duck reovirus (NDRV), Newcastle disease virus (NDV), H4 avian influenza virus (H4 AIV), (), Muscovy duck reovirus (MDRV), Egg drop syndrome virus (EDSV), ()].
