Background: Duck virus hepatitis (DVH) caused by duck hepatitis A virus type 1 (DHAV-1) is a malignant disease in ducklings, causing economic losses in the duck industry. However, there is still no antiviral drug against DHAV-1 in the clinic. Objective: Our aim is to investigate
the anti-DHAV-1 effect of baicalin, which is a flavonoid derived from the Chinese medicinal herb huangqin (Scutellaria baicalensis Georgi). Methods: Here, we first detected its anti-DHAV-1 ability in vitro and in vivo. At the same time, the inhibition of baicalin on DHAV-1 reproduction
was determined. Finally, we tested and verified the anti-oxidative and immuno-enhancing roles of baicalin on its curative effect on DVH. Results: Baicalin possessed anti-DHAV-1 effect. It improved the cytoactive of DEH which was infected by DHAV-1 as well as reduced the DHAV-1 reproduction
in DEH. Under baicalin treatment, mortality of ducklings infected by DHAV-1 decreased, additionally the DHAV-1 level and liver injury in such ducklings were significantly reduced or alleviated. The in vitro mechanism study indicated baicalin inhibited DHAV-1 reproduction via interfering the
viral replication and release. Furthermore, the in vivo mechanism study manifested both the anti-oxidative and immuno-enhancing abilities of baicalin, which played crucial roles in its curative effect on DVH. Conclusion: This study may provide a scientific basis for developing baicalin
as one or a part of the anti-DHAV-1 drugs.

Novel duck reovirus (NDRV) disease is a serious infectious disease for poultry, for which no effective therapy has been established. Therefore, development of novel antivirals against NDRV is urgently needed. In present study, we developed a complex wherein hypericin (HY), which shows broad-spectrum antiviral activity, was loaded onto graphene oxide (GO), which has a high drug-loading capacity and low cytotoxicity. The antiviral activity of the complex (GO/HY) was studied in DF-1 cells and in ducklings infected with the NDRV TH11 strain. GO/HY showed a dose-dependent inhibition of NDRV replication, which may be attributed to direct virus inactivation or inhibition of virus attachment. Western blotting and indirect immunofluorescence assay (IFA) showed markedly suppressed protein expression in GO/HY-treated NDRV-infected DF-1 cells. Moreover, GO/HY prolonged the survival time of the ducklings by reducing pathological lesions caused by the infection and inhibiting viral replication in the liver and lungs. These results suggest that GO/HY has antiviral activity against NDRV both in vitro and in vivo.

Background Duck viral hepatitis (DVH) is an acute disease of young ducklings with few convenient and effective veterinary drugs to treat. In pathology, present study mainly focused on the immune mechanism, but very few studies have concerned with the role of oxidative stress in the pathogenesis of DVH. To study the antioxidative and hepatoprotective effects of icariin and its phosphorylated derivative against DVH, we prepared phosphorylated icariin (p-icariin) using the sodium trimetaphosphate–sodium tripolyphosphate method. Ducklings were drunk with icariin and p-icariin after being challenged with duck hepatitis virus 1 (DHV-1). We recorded the number of dead ducklings, gross pathological changes in the liver, and changes in indices of oxidative stress and liver injury. The correlations between these indices were also analyzed.Results Exposure to DHV-1 induced significant oxidative damage in ducklings. Administration of icariin or p-icariin attenuated liver pathological injury and significantly increased the survival rate, with better outcomes in ducklings treated with p-icariin than in those treated with icariin. Icariin and p-icariin also attenuated the changes in oxidative stress and liver injury. We found positive correlations among indices of oxidative stress (malondialdehyde and inducible nitric oxide synthase) and liver injury (alanine aminotransferase, alkaline phosphatase, and lactate dehydrogenase), suggesting that DHV-1 causes significant oxidative damage, which is related to the extent of hepatic injury.Conclusion sIcariin and p-icariin improved the survival and attenuated oxidative stress and liver dysfunction induced by DHV-1. These outcomes were better in ducklings treated with p-icariin than in those treated by icariin. The clinical effects of both components were related to their antioxidant activities.

In our previous study, Bush Sophora Root polysaccharide (BSRPS) and its sulfate (sBSRPS) exhibited anti-duck virus hepatitis (DVH) abilities as well as anti-oxidative and immuno-enhancement effects. The aim of this paper was to ulteriorly investigate the exact anti-DVH mechanisms of BSRPS and sBSRPS by intervention experiments. Hinokitiol and FK506 were used as the pro-oxidant and immunosuppressant, respectively. The dynamic deaths, oxidative and immune evaluation indexes and hepatic pathological change scores were detected. When was intervened by hinokitiol, sBSRPS still possessed therapeutic effect while BSPRS was useless. Under the condition of immunosuppression, BSRPS lost a part role in treating DVH; however such a role of sBSRPS completely exhausted. These results suggested both anti-oxidative and immuno-enhancement effects of BSRPS played roles in healing DVH, and the former was more crucial; unlike BSRPS, only immuno-enhancement ability of sBSRPS was imperative for its curative effect on DVH.

In order to ascertain the mechanism underlying the therapeutic efficacy of Bush sophora root polysaccharides (BSRPS) and phosphorylated Bush sophora root polysaccharides (pBSRPS) in the treatment of in duck viral hepatitis (DVH), an investigation was conducted to assess the protective impact of BSRPS and pBSRPS against duck hepatitis A virus type 1 (DHAV-1) induced mitochondrial dysfunction both in vivo and vitro . The BSRPS underwent modification through the utilization of the sodium trimetaphosphate - sodium tripolyphosphate method, and was subsequently characterized though Fourier infrared spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy. Following this, the degree of mitochondrial oxidative damage and dysfunction was described through the use of fluorescence probes and various antioxidative enzyme assay kits. Furthermore, the utilization of transmission electron microscopy facilitated the observation of alterations in the mitochondrial ultrastructure within the liver tissue. Our findings demonstrated that both BSRPS and pBSRPS effectively mitigated mitochondrial oxidative stress and conserved mitochondrial functionality, as evidenced by heightened antioxidant enzyme activity, augmented ATP production, and stabilized mitochondrial membrane potential. Meanwhile, the histological and biochemical examinations revealed that the administration of BSRPS and pBSRPS resulted in a reduction of focal necrosis and infiltration of inflammatory cells, thereby mitigating liver injury. Additionally, both BSRPS and pBSRPS exhibited the ability to maintain liver mitochondrial membrane integrity and enhance the survival rate of ducklings infected with DHAV-1. Notably, pBSRPS demonstrated superior performance in all aspects of mitochondrial function compared to BSRPS. The findings indicated that maintaining mitochondrial homeostasis is a crucial factor in DHAV-1 infections, and the administration of BSRPS and pBSRPS may mitigate mitochondrial dysfunction and safeguard liver function.
