First detection and genetic characterization of chicken infectious anemia virus in the Mekong Delta, Vietnam.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Chicken infectious anemia (CIA) caused by the CIA virus (CIAV) is considered one of the most important immunosuppressive diseases affecting chickens and recently poses a great economic burden to the poultry industry worldwide.

Aim

This study aims to identify the presence of CIAV in the Mekong Delta (MD), Vietnam, and to determine genotypes of CIAVs that are currently circulating in this area.

Methods

Organ samples (spleen, liver, and thymus) of 144 chickens suspected with CIA from 47 poultry farms were collected. A total of 47 pooled samples, each containing 2-4 chickens from each farm, were tested for the presence of CIAV.

Results

Twenty out of 47 pooled organ samples (pool of 2-4 chickens per farm) were positive for CIAV using polymerase chain reac
