In recent years, with the expansion of duck breeding industry in China, the infection rate of duck circovirus (DuCV) in duck and the mixed infection rate of DuCV with other diseases increased significantly, which seriously endanger the development of duck breeding industry. To study the epidemic status of duck circovirus in China, analyze the virus's genetics and evolution, and establish a foundation for scientific prevention and control of duck circovirus, our laboratory collected 4 disease materials preliminarily diagnosed as duck circovirus infections. Conventional PCR was used to amplify 4 strains of duck circovirus with a full length of 1993bp, and their sequences were compared and analyzed. The analysis showed that the 4 DuCVs had typical circovirus characteristics, including 3 major ORFs: ORFV1 (Rep protein), ORFC1 (Cap protein), ORFC2 (apoptosis-related protein), and a stem ring structure. The 4 strains were compared with 22 other reference strains, and the results revealed that all 4 strains belonged to the DuCV-I type represented by the German strain AY228555. Furthermore, the homology between the 4 DuCVs and the reference strains was up to 98.6%, which help us to understand the genotype and genetic variation of DuCV in these regions and provide a reference for the prevention and control of DuCV.

Duck circovirus (DuCV) infected multiple breeds of ducks and was widespread in duck factories worldwide. Infected ducks exhibited feathering disorder, growth retardation and immunosuppression, which lead to secondary infection with other pathogens easily. But till now, there has been little research on the study of DuCV due to the absence of appropriate cultural measures.

Duck Tembusu virus (DTMUV), duck hepatitis virus (DHV), Muscovy duck reovirus (MDRV), and Muscovy duck parvovirus (MDPV) represent four emergent infectious diseases impacting waterfowl, which can be challenging to differentiate due to overlapping clinical signs. In response to this, we have developed a one-step multiplex real-time fluorescence quantitative reverse transcription PCR (qRT-PCR) assay, capable of simultaneously detecting DTMUV, DHV, MDRV, and MDPV. This method exhibits high specificity, avoiding cross-reactivity with other viruses such as Fowl adenoviruses (FADV), infectious bursal disease virus (IBDV), infectious bronchitis virus (IBV), infectious laryngotracheitis virus (ILTV), Haemophilus paragallinarum (Hpg), duck circovirus (DUCV), goose astrovirus (GoAstV), and mycoplasma gallisepticum (MG).

Duck circovirus (DuCV) infections cause immunosuppression in ducks, potentially leading to significant economic losses for the duck farming industry. This study investigates the prevalence, genetic characteristics, and evolutionary trends of DuCV in Korea between 2013 and 2022. Samples from 184 farms across seven provinces were analyzed using polymerase chain reaction (PCR).

North America is home to over 40 species of migratory waterfowl. Utilizing tissue and cloacal-swab sampling from hunter-harvested carcasses in 2021-2023, we identified circular DNA viruses associated with 116 waterfowl samples from nine species (American wigeons, Mexican ducks, northern shovelers, northern pintails, canvasbacks, mallards, American black ducks, gadwalls, and green-winged teals). We determined the genome sequences of viruses in the families Circoviridae (n = 18) and Hepadnaviridae (n = 2) from the 13 virus-infected birds.

Background: Duck circovirus (DuCV) infections commonly induce immunosuppression and secondary infections in ducks, resulting in significant economic losses in the duck breeding industry. Currently, effective vaccines and treatments for DuCV have been lacking. Therefore, rapid, specific, and sensitive detection methods are crucial for preventing and controlling DuCV.
