摘要： Duck reovirus (DRV) is a universal waterfowl virus that causes significant economic losses in the duck industry. However, the role of the host innate immune response of the Bursa of Fabricius to DRV infection is largely unknown. In the present study, we constructed a single-cell resolution transcriptomic atlas of the Bursa of Fabricius of Cairna moschata after infection with HN10 (a novel DRV). Ten cell-type marker genes were used to annotate the cell type, indicating a high degree of cell heterogeneity in the Bursa of Fabricius. Most of the innate and adaptive immune system-related genes were highly expressed in T cells, B cells, neutrophils, macrophages, and DCs. In the Bursa of Fabricius, the proportions of DCs and macrophages were largely increased by HN10 infection at 14 d, suggesting that DCs and macrophages play important roles in the long-term viral response. Notably, a number of innate and adaptive immune system-related genes were highly expressed at 24 h after HN10 infection, indicating that the Bursa of Fabricius has a very strong immune function even in the early developmental stage. In the immune system, the NOD-like receptor signaling pathway and RIG-I-like receptor signaling pathway were significantly activated at the early stage of HN10 infection, while the Toll-like receptor signaling pathway was significantly activated at the late stage. Enrichment analysis suggested that different immune signaling pathways play roles in specific developmental stages. Our data provide an opportunity to reveal the immune response to DRV infection at the single-cell level.
