The research aimed to study an Avian polyomavirus strain that was isolated in Shandong, China. To study the pathogenicity of APV in SPF chickens, and provide references for epidemiological research and disease prevention and control of APV. The genetic characterization of APV strain (termed APV-20) was analyzed and the pathogenicity of APV was investigated from two aspects: different age SPF chickens, and different infection doses. The results revealed that the APV-20 exhibits a nucleotide homology of 99% with the other three APV strains, and the evolution of APV In China was slow. In addition, the APV-20 infection in chickens caused depression, drowsiness, clustering, and fluffy feathers, but no deaths occurred in the infected chickens. The main manifestations of necropsy, and Hematoxylin and Eosin staining (HE) showed that one-day-old SPF chickens were the most susceptible, and there was a positive correlation between viral load and infection dose in the same tissue. This study showed that SPF chickens were susceptible to APV, and an experimental animal model was established. This study can provide a reference for the pathogenic mechanism of immune prevention and control of APV.

Background: Recombinant avian influenza subunit vaccines often require adjuvants to enhance immune responses. This study aims to evaluate the immune-enhancing potential of seven combination adjuvants in specific pathogen-free (SPF) chickens.
Methods: SPF chickens were vaccinated with combinations of ISA78VG and adjuvants, including Quil-A, CpG, and monophosphoryl lipid A (MPLA).

Article Synopsis
- Newcastle disease virus (NDV) serves as a valuable model for studying viral mechanisms and is being utilized as a vector for vaccine development and cancer therapy.
- A reverse genetic system was created for the NDV Mukteswar strain, allowing for the insertion of the enhanced green fluorescent protein (EGFP) gene between the P and M genes to form a stable transcription unit that expresses exogenous genes over multiple generations.
- Through this system, a recombinant virus that co-expresses EGFP and cherry fluorescent protein (CFP) was developed, demonstrating efficient simultaneous expression of both proteins, though with slight differences in expression levels, and similar growth rates with mild virulence attenuation compared to the original strains.

Marek's Disease (MD), caused by Marek's disease virus (MDV), is a highly contagious lymphoproliferative disease in poultry. Despite the fact that MD has been effectively controlled by vaccines, the virulence of field isolates of MDV has continued to evolve, becoming more virulent under the immune pressure of vaccines. Our previous research has confirmed that the recombinant rMDV strain with REV-LTR insertion can be used as a live attenuated vaccine candidate.

Avian infectious bronchitis virus (IBV) is responsible for a highly contagious disease that poses a significant threat to the poultry industry due to its high rates of evolution. The occurrence of vaccination failure can frequently be attributed to the emergence of novel strains that exhibit antigenic divergence from conventional vaccine strains. This study aims to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the Eg/1212B-based live attenuated virus vaccine indicated for immunization of chickens against nephropathogenic GI-23 variant strains reported globally.

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.
