Abstract
Since April 2010, a severe outbreak of duck viral infection, with egg drop, feed uptake decline and ovary-oviduct disease,
has spread around the major duck-producing regions in China. A new virus, named BYD virus, was isolated in different areas,
and a similar disease was reproduced in healthy egg-producing ducks, infecting with the isolated virus. The virus was re-
isolated from the affected ducks and replicated well in primary duck embryo fibroblasts and Vero cells, causing the
cytopathic effect. The virus was identified as an enveloped positive-stranded RNA virus with a size of approximately 55 nm
in diameter. Genomic sequencing of the isolated virus revealed that it is closely related to Tembusu virus (a mosquito-borne
Ntaya group flavivirus), with 8791% nucleotide identity of the partial E (envelope) proteins to that of Tembusu virus and
72% of the entire genome coding sequence with Bagaza virus, the most closely related flavivirus with an entirely sequenced
genome. Collectively our systematic studies fulfill Kochs postulates, and therefore, the causative agent of the duck egg
drop syndrome occurring in China is a new flavivirus. Flavivirus is an emerging and re-emerging zoonotic pathogen and
BYD virus that causes severe egg-drop, could be disastrous for the duck industry. More importantly its public health
concerns should also be evaluated, and its epidemiology should be closely watched due to the zoonotic nature of
flaviviruses.

Duck egg drop syndrome virus (DEDSV) is a newly emerging pathogenic flavivirus isolated from ducks in China. DEDSV in-
fection mainly results in severe egg drop syndrome in domestic poultry, which leads to huge economic losses. Thus, the dis-
covery of ways and means to combat DEDSV is urgent. Since 2010, a remarkable amount of progress concerning DEDSV re-
search has been achieved. Here, we review current knowledge on the epidemiology, symptomatology, and pathology of
DEDSV. A detailed dissection of the viral genome and polyprotein sequences, comparative analysis of viral antigenicity and
the corresponding potential immunity against the virus are also summarized. Current findings indicate that DEDSV should be a
distinct species from Tembusu virus. Moreover, the adaption of DEDSV in wildlife and its high homology to pathogenic fla-
viviruses (e.g., West Nile virus, Japanese encephalitis virus, and dengue virus), illustrate its reemergence and potential to be-
come a zoonotic pathogen that should not be overlooked. Detailed insight into the antigenicity and corresponding immunity
against the virus is of clear significance for the development of vaccines and antiviral drugs specific for DEDSV.
