Article Synopsis
  • A new type of goose-origin astrovirus (GoAstV) disease has emerged in China since 2017, causing severe health issues in geese, including joint swelling and high mortality rates exceeding 30%.
  • A strain named CXZ18 has been identified, causing fatal infections with notable visceral urate deposits, and it does not replicate in chicken or duck embryos, only in goose embryos.
  • Genetic analysis shows that CXZ18 is significantly different from other known avian astroviruses, indicating it belongs to a unique branch of these viruses.
