Isolation and phylogenetic analysis of goose astrovirus type 1 from goslings with gout in Jiangxi province, China.

ABSTRACT: Goose astrovirus (GoAstV) is a new Avastrovirus of the genus astrovirus causing gout, hemorrhage, and swellings of kidneys that have affected goslings around the major goose-producing regions in China. The GoAstV is divided into goose astrovirus type 1 (GoAstV-1) and goose astrovirus type 2 (GoAstV-2). Although GoAstV-2 is known to be the causative agent of goose gout, little published information about the relationship between GoAstV-1 and goose gout is unknown. In this study, we investigated the presence of GoAstV-1 in 293 visceral tissue/dead embryos samples with gout on different farms in Jiangxi province, China. A survey result indicated that the mono-infection of GoAstV-1 (32.08%) and co-infection of GoAstV-1 (12.28%) with GoAstV-2 in gout goslings in Jiangxi, China. JXGZ, a GoAstV-1
