Goose parvovirus, goose hemorrhagic polyomavirus and goose circovirus infections are prevalent in commercial geese flocks in Poland and contribute to overall health and production outcomes: a two-year observational study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The intensification of poultry production and the constantly growing number of geese flocks in Poland increases the risk of infectious diseases. The study aimed to determine the health status of commercial geese, with particular emphasis on infections with goose parvovirus (GPV), goose circovirus and goose hemorrhagic polyomavirus. The study monitored 27 geese flocks, ranging in size from 3,000 to 13,000 birds, over a two-year period.

Results

The results showed the presence of genetic material GPV in all flocks tested, whereas GoCV and GHPV were detected in some flocks, 44.4% and 59.3% respectively. A significant number of flocks were found to be co-infected with two (74.1%) and three viruses (22.2%). Additionally, a phylogenetic analysis of GPV and GHPV was condu
