摘要： Goose astrovirus (GAstV) is an emerging pathogen with a wide distribution in China that causes visceral gout and leads to significant economic losses in the goose industry. Here, 10 GAstV strains were isolated from different farms in southeast China. We performed an integrated analysis of the full-genome sequences of these new strains alongside comprehensive epidemiological surveillance information from the database. Interestingly, the results showed two distinct genotypes of GAstV, which were evolutionarily distant from each other. Group I GAstVs were closely related to DAstV IV, and group II strains were classified with duck astrovirus (DAstV) II and turkey astrovirus (TAstV) II. Further investigation showed that among the GAstV I strains, ZJC14 and AHDY differed from FLX. Comparative analysis of 58 available genomes clustered the GAstV II strains into two subgroups. We identified two major mutation sites, 456 (E/D) and 540 (L/Q), in the capsid protein, which were related to distinct subgroups according to evolution. GAstV II subgroup 1a strains are the predominant strains in the current prevalent epidemiology. Phylogeographic analysis based on 90 reported cases from 13 provinces revealed the complexity and severity of GAstV epidemics in China, within which Henan, Anhui and Jiangsu provinces have suffered great impacts. According to these phylogeographic investigations, following the initial introduction of GAstV from Hunan Province, the dispersal of GAstV with different subgenotypes on a nationwide scale may be explained by the live gosling trade. Our findings have important implications for the evolution and dispersal of GAstV and will contribute to understanding the potential risk of GAstV.
