Abstract
In April 2022, a novel Goose adenovirus (GoAdV) isolated from diseased Lion head gooses exhibiting swelling and hemorrhage of liver and kidney, accumulation of fluid in pericardial, in Fujian province of China. The GoAdV was propagated in goose embryo fibroblasts (GEFs), the morphological properties of the virions were studied by electron microscopy, and the full genome sequence was determined and analyzed. The results revealed that the infected cells became round and clustered like grapes, virions accumulated and were arranged in crystal lattice formations in the nucleus of GEFs with a diameter of ∼80 nm. The new isolate (named CH-FJZZ-202201) has a viral genome size of 43,480 bp and shared 96.69% sequence identity with GoAdV-4 (P29), representing the species Goose aviadenovirus A. Phylogenetic analysis showed that CH-FJZZ-202201 was in the same genetic evolutionary branch with the viruses of Aviadenovirus and was the closest relative to GoAdV-4 P29/Hungary. This is the first report of the GoAdV-4 outside of Hungary, indicating the reemergence of new AdV strains in China.
