“…It was from a nestling Lake Victoria cormorant (Phalacrocorax melanoleucus) (French et al, 1973). Gruid HV I Several species of cranes contracted HV infections followed by severe disease and mortality; crane (inclusion body) hepatitis is proposed as the name of the disease (Burtscher and Grünberg, 1979;Docherty and Henning, 1980;Förster et al, 1989). Survivors may carry neutralising serum antibodies (Docherty and Romaine, 1983).…”

The family of herpesviridae is divided into the subfamilies alpha-, beta- and gammaherpesvirinae. Members of the alphaherpesvirinae (infectious laryngo-tracheitis in gallinaceous birds and duck viral enteritis in waterfowl) may cause substantial economic and ecological losses. Marek's disease and turkey herpesviruses are the only members of the gammaherpesvirinae. Most herpesviruses from free-living and pet birds are tentatively classified as bctaherpesvirinae. These may induce diseases, with variably non-specific clinical signs but including respiratory distress, ocular lesions, enteritis and liver involvement. Prominent pathological lesions consist either of haemorrhages on respiratory or intestinal epithelium or of multi-focal necrotic lesions in livers, spleen and bone marrow. At least four different plaque types of betaherpersvirinae can be differentiated in infected chick embryo fibroblasts or chick kidney cell cultures. Infectivity may be cell-associated or detectable in supernatant fluids and transformed cultured cells. All avian herpesviruses are presently grouped on the basis of results of cross neutralisation tests into 11 different serotypes.

“…Additionally, viruses that infect birds and other crane species are potentially endangering their lives. In recent years, emerging and re-emerging viruses, such as avian influenza virus, Marek’s disease virus, West Nile virus, and crane hepatitis herpesviruses, have been found to infect cranes, posing health risks [ 5 , 6 , 7 , 8 ]. Some of these viruses also potentially cross species barriers and infect humans.…”

The black-necked crane is the only species of crane that lives in the high-altitude region of the Tibet Plateau. At present, there is little research on viral diseases of the black-necked crane (Grus nigricollis). In this study, a viral metagenomic approach was employed to investigate the fecal virome of black-necked cranes in Saga County, Shigatse City, Tibet, China. The identified virus families carried by black-necked cranes mainly include Genomoviridae, Parvoviridae, and Picornaviridae. The percentages of sequence reads belonging to these three virus families were 1.6%, 3.1%, and 93.7%, respectively. Among them, one genome was characterized as a novel species in the genus Grusopivirus of the family Picornaviridae, four new parvovirus genomes were obtained and classified into four different novel species within the genus Chaphamaparvovirus of the subfamily Hamaparvovirinae, and four novel genomovirus genomes were also acquired and identified as members of three different species, including Gemykroznavirus haeme1, Gemycircularvirus ptero6, and Gemycircularvirus ptero10. All of these viruses were firstly detected in fecal samples of black-necked cranes. This study provides valuable information for understanding the viral community composition in the digestive tract of black-necked cranes in Tibet, which can be used for monitoring, preventing, and treating potential viral diseases in black-necked cranes.

“…Because cross-species spreading of the virus is possible, this mode of transmission enables it to infect an even broader spectrum of hosts [ 21 ]. Despite several cases of herpesvirus infection in cranes that were previously reported [ 22 , 23 ], there is a lack of molecular evidence on MDV infection and knowledge of which species are infected.…”

BackgroundMarek’s disease virus (MDV) resides in the genus Mardivirus in the family Herpesviridae. MDV is a highly contagious virus that can cause neurological lesions, lymphocytic proliferation, immune suppression, and death in avian species, including Galliformes (chickens, quails, partridges, and pheasants), Strigiformes (owls), Anseriformes (ducks, geese, and swans), and Falconiformes (kestrels).Case presentationIn 2015, two red-crowned cranes died in Nanjing (Jiangsu, China). It was determined that the birds were infected with Marek’s disease virus by histopathological examination, polymerase chain reaction (PCR), gene sequencing and sequence analysis of tissue samples from two cranes. Gross lesions included diffuse nodules in the skin, muscle, liver, spleen, kidney, gizzard and heart, along with liver enlargement and gizzard mucosa hemorrhage. Histopathological assay showed that infiltrative lymphocytes and mitotic figures existed in liver and heart. The presence of MDV was confirmed by PCR. The sequence analysis of the Meq gene showed 100% identity with Md5, while the VP22 gene showed the highest homology with CVI988. Furthermore, the phylogenetic analysis of the VP22 and Meq genes suggested that the MDV (from cranes) belongs to MDV serotype 1.ConclusionWe describe the first molecular detection of Marek’s disease in red-crowned cranes based on the findings previously described. To our knowledge, this is also the first molecular identification of Marek’s disease virus in the order Gruiformes and represents detection of a novel MDV strain.
