“…While some DTMUV detection methods and vaccine formulations have been successfully launched in the domestic market, effectively curbing the spread and prevalence of certain strains, it is important to note that DTMUV belongs to the class of RNA viruses. RNA viruses have the propensity to mutate within the host environment, potentially leading to the ineffectiveness of existing detection methods and vaccines [11,15,30,147]. Additionally, with diverse transmission routes and a wide range of hosts, there is a potential risk of zoonotic transmission [11,15].…”

“…Since 2010, most strains isolated in Thailand and a small number from China belong to Cluster 2.a, while most isolates from China are assigned to Cluster 2.b. In recent years, two different research groups have identified a new cluster called Cluster 3 within the TMUV group, which collects virus isolates from China and Thailand [15,[30][31][32][33] (Figure 2).…”

Duck Tembusu Virus (DTMUV) is a pathogen of the Flaviviridae family that causes infections in poultry, leading to significant economic losses in the duck farming industry in recent years. Ducks infected with this virus exhibit clinical symptoms such as decreased egg production and neurological disorders, along with serious consequences such as ovarian hemorrhage, organ enlargement, and necrosis. Variations in morbidity and mortality rates exist across different age groups of ducks. It is worth noting that DTMUV is not limited to ducks alone; it can also spread to other poultry such as chickens and geese, and antibodies related to DTMUV have even been found in duck farm workers, suggesting a potential risk of zoonotic transmission. This article provides a detailed overview of DTMUV research, delving into its genomic characteristics, vaccines, and the interplay with host immune responses. These in-depth research findings contribute to a more comprehensive understanding of the virus’s transmission mechanism and pathogenic process, offering crucial scientific support for epidemic prevention and control.
