Abstract

Duck Tembusu virus (DTMUV) has caused significant economic losses in China since 2010. However, there is still a lack of effective methods to diagnose the disease caused by this virus, and especially to differentiate infection from vaccination. In this study, we established a novel indirect enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (iELISA) and performed a retrospective serological survey for DTMUV in Anhui province, China. Our results show that the iELISA displayed high specificity sensitivity, and with no serological cross-reaction with other duck pathogens. These findings indicate that the newly developed iELISA could be a useful screening tool for large-scale monitoring of the epidemiology of DTMUV infection in ducks.
