Key result
NGPV and DuCV coinfection linked to vertical transmission and cooperative roles in duck BADS disease.
Why the study?
Duck beak atrophy and dwarfism syndrome (BADS) is a newly emerged disease causing economic losses in China, with unclear roles of novel goose parvovirus-related virus and duck circovirus in its pathogenesis.
Population
Ducks and duck embryos with BADS disease in East China
Comparison
Coinfection of novel goose parvovirus-related virus and duck circovirus versus single infections
Design
Observational study

Li et al. (2018) conducted an observational in Duck beak atrophy and dwarfism syndrome (BADS). Coinfection of novel goose parvovirus-related virus (NGPV) and duck circovirus (DuCV) was evaluated on Prevalence and vertical transmission of NGPV and DuCV coinfection. Coinfection of emerging novel goose parvovirus-related virus and duck circovirus was prevalent in East China and could be vertically transmitted, indicating cooperative roles in duck BADS disease.
