Current Situation of Goose Astrovirus in China: A Review

Gosling gout disease is an infectious disease caused by goose astrovirus (GAstV), which can result in urate deposition in the internal organs and joints of goslings. Since 2015, outbreaks of gosling gout disease have occurred in several goose-producing areas in China. Subsequently, the disease sprea...

description Gosling gout disease is an infectious disease caused by goose astrovirus (GAstV), which can result in urate deposition in the internal organs and joints of goslings. Since 2015, outbreaks of gosling gout disease have occurred in several goose-producing areas in China. Subsequently, the disease spread to the vast majority of eastern China, becoming a major threat to goose farms and causing huge economic losses to the goose industry. Meanwhile, GAstV can infect species of birds other than geese. It is worth noting that, as an emerging virus, the research on GAstV is still in the early stages. Therefore, the investigation of GAstV has become an urgent issue, which can improve understanding of GAstV and develop effective measures to control its threat to poultry. The purpose of this review is to summarize the latest research progress on GAstV in recent years, mainly focusing on the genetic evolution, pathogenesis, diagnostic detection, and control strategies of GAstV, aiming to provide a reference for scientific prevention and control of GAstV infection.
