Abstract
Chicken astroviruses have been known to cause severe disease in chickens leading to increased mortality and “white chicks” condition. Here we aim to characterize the causative agent of visceral gout suspected for astrovirus infection in broiler breeder chickens.
Total RNA isolated from allantoic fluid of SPF embryo passaged with infected chicken sample was sequenced by whole genome shotgun sequencing using ion-torrent PGM platform. The sequence was analysed for the presence of coding and non-coding features, its similarity with reported isolates and epitope analysis of capsid structural protein.
The consensus length of 7513 bp genome sequence of Indian isolate of chicken astrovirus was obtained after assembly of 14,121 high quality reads. The genome was comprised of 13 bp 5′-UTR, three open reading frames (ORFs) including ORF1a encoding serine protease, ORF1b encoding RNA dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp) and ORF2 encoding capsid protein, and 298 bp of 3′-UTR which harboured two corona virus stem loop II like “s2m” motifs and a poly A stretch of 19 nucleotides. The genetic analysis of CAstV/INDIA/ANAND/2016 suggested highest sequence similarity of 86.94% with the chicken astrovirus isolate CAstV/GA2011 followed by 84.76% with CAstV/4175 and 74.48%% with CAstV/Poland/G059/2014 isolates. The capsid structural protein of CAstV/INDIA/ANAND/2016 showed 84.67% similarity with chicken astrovirus isolate CAstV/GA2011, 81.06% with CAstV/4175 and 41.18% with CAstV/Poland/G059/2014 isolates. However, the capsid protein sequence showed high degree of sequence identity at nucleotide level (98.64-99.32%) and at amino acids level (97.74–98.69%) with reported sequences of Indian isolates suggesting their common origin and limited sequence divergence. The epitope analysis by SVMTriP identified two unique epitopes in our isolate, seven shared epitopes among Indian isolates and two shared epitopes among all isolates except Poland isolate which carried all distinct epitopes.

The genome was comprised of 13 bp 5′-UTR, three open reading frames (ORFs) including ORF1a encoding serine protease, ORF1b encoding RNA dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp) and ORF2 encoding capsid protein, and 298 bp of 3′-UTR which harboured two corona virus stem loop II like “s2m” motifs and a poly A stretch of 19 nucleotides. The genetic analysis of CAstV/INDIA/ANAND/2016 suggested highest sequence similarity of 86.94% with the chicken astrovirus isolate CAstV/GA2011 followed by 84.76% with CAstV/4175 and 74.48%% with CAstV/Poland/G059/2014 isolates. The capsid structural protein of CAstV/INDIA/ANAND/2016 showed 84.67% similarity with chicken astrovirus isolate CAstV/GA2011, 81.06% with CAstV/4175 and 41.18% with CAstV/Poland/G059/2014 isolates. However, the capsid protein sequence showed high degree of sequence identity at nucleotide level (98.64-99.32%) and at amino acids level (97.74–98.69%) with reported sequences of Indian isolates suggesting their common origin and limited sequence divergence. The epitope analysis by SVMTriP identified two unique epitopes in our isolate, seven shared epitopes among Indian isolates and two shared epitopes among all isolates except Poland isolate which carried all distinct epitopes.</p></sec><sec><title>Electronic supplementary material</title><p>The online version of this article (doi:10.1007/s11259-016-9673-6) contains supplementary material, which is available to authorized users.</p></sec></abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><title>Keywords</title><kwd>Astrovirus</kwd><kwd>Chicken</kwd><kwd>Next Generation Sequencing</kwd><kwd>India</kwd></kwd-group><custom-meta-group><custom-meta><meta-name>issue-copyright-statement</meta-name><meta-value>© Springer Science+Business Media Dordrecht 2017</meta-value></custom-meta></custom-meta-group></article-meta></front><body><sec id="Sec1" sec-type="introduction"><title>Introduction</title><p id="Par4">Poultry meat production is increasing globally day by day as it is easily manageable animal protein source for human consumption compared to others. However, viral diseases incurs heavy economic losses to the poultry industry. Among the different viruses infecting birds, astroviruses are small round viruses, characterized based on its morphology (Caul and Appleton <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR7">1982</xref>). Astrovirus was first observed in human during 1975 in faeces of the infant suffering from gastroenteritis (Madeley and Cosgrove <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR23">1975</xref>). They are broadly categorized into two genera, Mammoastrovirus infecting mammals and Aviastrovirus infecting avian species. Both of these genera belongs to the family Astroviridae. Astroviruses can infect variety of host including human ((Finkbeiner et al. <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR9">2008</xref>; Madeley and Cosgrove <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR23">1975</xref>), cattle (Bouzalas et al. <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR5">2014</xref>; Li et al. <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR21">2013</xref>; Schlottau et al. <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR37">2016</xref>), sheep (Jonassen et al. <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR16">2003</xref>; Reuter et al. <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR33">2012</xref>), cat (Hoshino et al. <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR13">1981</xref>; Lau et al. <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR19">2013</xref>), dog (Martella et al. <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR24">2012</xref>; Takano et al. <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR47">2015</xref>) and deer (Smits et al. <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR40">2010</xref>).</p><p id="Par5">Mammoastrovirus are mostly associated with gastroenteritis in the host. However, Aviastrovirus can cause different diseases in the different host. The members of genus Aviastrovirus mainly infects turkey, chicken and duck. Turkey Astrovirus (TAstV) causes Poultry Enteritis Mortality Syndrome (PEMS) or Poultry Enteritis Syndrome (PES) (McNulty et al. <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR26">1980</xref>; Mor et al. <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR28">2011</xref>) while in duck, astroviruses (DAstV) are associated with hepatitis (Asplin <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR3">1965</xref>; Gough et al. <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR11">1984</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR12">1985</xref>). In chickens, two astrovirus species avian nephritis virus (ANV) (Imada et al. <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR14">2000</xref>; Shirai et al. <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR39">1991</xref>) and Chicken Astrovirus (CAstV) (Baxendale and Mebatsion <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR4">2004</xref>) have been reported. Initially CAstV was accepted as enterovirus causing growth retardation (Schultz-Cherry et al. <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR38">2001</xref>; Todd et al. <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR50">2009</xref>). Later on it was also found to be associated with gout (Bulbule et al. <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR6">2013</xref>) and hatchability problem (Smyth et al. <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR43">2013</xref>) in broiler chickens. Recently CAstV has been linked with ‘white chicks’, a disease characterized by weakness and white plumage of hatched chicks (Smyth et al. <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR43">2013</xref>) and leading to increased mortality in chicks and embryo has also been reported in Poland (Sajewicz-Krukowska et al. <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR36">2016</xref>) and Brazil (Nunez et al. <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR31">2016</xref>).</p><p id="Par6">Chicken astroviruses are non-enveloped, 25–35 nm in diameter and contain non-segmented positive sense ssRNA genome comprised of 6.8 to 7.9 kb in length (Matsui and Greenberg <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR25">2001</xref>; Mendez et al. <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR27">2007</xref>). Whole genome sequencing and other studies have revealed that the basic structure and molecular mechanism is almost similar for all the astroviruses sequenced till date (Koci et al. <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR18">2000</xref>). Initially there was no authentic diagnostic method available for astrovirus which relied mostly on electron microscopy (Madeley and Cosgrove <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR23">1975</xref>; McNulty et al. <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR26">1980</xref>) or immunoassay (Baxendale and Mebatsion <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR4">2004</xref>). However, advances in the molecular biology have led to the development of some easy techniques for detection of viruses. Astroviruses can also be diagnosed using RT-PCR (Pantin-Jackwood et al. <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR32">2008</xref>; Smyth et al. <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR41">2009</xref>; Todd et al. <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR50">2009</xref>). Lee et al. (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR20">2013</xref>) suggested that a recombinant capsid can be used for diagnosis and vaccination. Till now the genome of only three chicken astroviruses CAstV/4175 (directly submitted to NCBI), CAstV/GA2011 (Kang et al. <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR17">2012</xref>) and CAstV/Poland/G059/2014 (Sajewicz-Krukowska and Domanska-Blicharz <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR35">2016</xref>) have been reported. In this study, we sequenced and characterized whole genome of chicken astrovirus isolated from infected broiler chicks from western part of India.</p></sec><sec id="Sec2" sec-type="materials|methods"><title>Materials and methods</title><sec id="Sec3"><title>History and sample collection</title><p id="Par7">A broiler breeder farm at Anand, Gujarat, India was facing the problem of visceral gout in the Cobb-400 commercial chicks from last three batches of the parents. The outbreaks were noticed only in the initial hatches of the parents aging 28 to 32 weeks of age. These parents were vaccinated with infectious bronchitis nephropathic vaccine strains. The fertility and hatchabilities were normal but the chicks started showing lameness with spiking mortality from 4th day onward. Mortality continued for 5–7 days and ranged from 5 to 25%. Hatches falling during winter season i.e. November to February had high mortality. Dead chicks showed increased amount of abdominal fluid, pale and greyish kidneys with dilated tubules filled with urates. Chalky white deposits of urates were found on serosal surfaces of pericardium, liver capsule, air sacs, joint capsules and mucosal surfaces of proventriculus, trachea etc. Affected chick sample was submitted to Hester Biosciences limited for diagnosis of infection during the period of February 2016. The spleen, kidney and lungs tissue samples from the freshly dead birds were collected and triturated in PBS to make a 10% solution, then passed through the 0.22 μm syringe filter and inoculated in 10 day embryonated SPF eggs through allantoic cavity route. After three blind passages, the embryos started dying 5 to 6 days post inoculation and showed haemorrhagic lesion on the body surface. The allantoic fluid from the dead embryo was collected and used for total RNA isolation for subsequent analysis by whole genome sequencing.</p></sec><sec id="Sec4"><title>Library preparation and sequencing</title><p id="Par8">Total RNA was extracted using TRIzol reagent (Invitrogen Carlsbad, CA, USA) and treated with RNase free DNase I (Qiagen, Hilden, Germany) to remove any DNA contamination.

Chicken astrovirus causes severe disease especially in young chickens (Bulbule et al. <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR6">2013</xref>; Li et al. <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR21">2013</xref>; Nunez et al. <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR31">2016</xref>; Schultz-Cherry et al. <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR38">2001</xref>; Smyth et al. <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR43">2013</xref>; Todd et al. <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR50">2009</xref>). Though culturing methods has been described for astroviruses (Baxendale and Mebatsion <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR4">2004</xref>; Nunez et al. <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR30">2015</xref>), the isolation of virus is somewhat difficult due to its poor growth in the culture (Smyth et al. <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR42">2010</xref>). Next generation sequencing technology is sophisticated as there is no need to isolate or culture the organism. Hence in the present study we directly isolated RNA from allantoic fluid of chicken embryo inoculated with clinical sample and sequenced on Ion torrent PGM platform.</p><p id="Par19">The viral genome of CAstV/INDIA/ANAND/2016 was assembled into 7513 bp which is comparable with the size of other published astrovirus genomes (Chen et al. <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR8">2012</xref>; Finkbeiner et al. <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR9">2008</xref>; Sajewicz-Krukowska and Domanska-Blicharz <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR35">2016</xref>; Strain et al. <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR46">2008</xref>). The genome showed presence of three ORFs encoding for serine protease, RdRp and capsid protein as reported for other astroviruses. The RdRp of most astroviruses do not have its own start codon. Kang et al. (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR17">2012</xref>) reported that RdRp of chicken astrovirus GA2011 has its own start codon. We observed presence of ATG start codon for RdRp among all the reported chicken astroviruses and DAstV/SL5 isolate whereas other duck astrovirus and avian nephritis viruses were found to lack ATG start codon. The RNA family analysis by Rfam suggested presence of two motifs matching to corona virus stem loop II (s2m) motif in the 3′-UTR as reported for other astroviruses (Jonassen et al. <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR15">1998</xref>; Sajewicz-Krukowska and Domanska-Blicharz <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR35">2016</xref>). Although, exact function is still not uncovered, the presence of these “s2m” motifs is believed to influence gene expression through RNA-interference mechanism (Tengs et al. <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR49">2013</xref>)</p><p id="Par20">Based on the nucleotide similarity, the virus was found to be closest to the chicken astrovirus isolate GA2011 (Kang et al. <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR17">2012</xref>) followed by CAstV/4175 (direct submission) and CAstV/Poland/G059/2014 (Sajewicz-Krukowska and Domanska-Blicharz <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR35">2016</xref>) among the chicken astroviruses. At amino acids level, serine protease and capsid protein of the CAstV/INDIA/ANAND/2016 virus showed highest identity with chicken astrovirus isolate GA2011 followed by CAstV/4175 and CAstV/Poland/G059/2014, whereas RdRp showed maximum identity with the chicken astrovirus isolate GA2011 followed by CAstV/Poland/G059/2014 and CAstV/4175 isolates. Capsid protein of the CAstV/INDIA/ANAND/2016 isolate showed only 41.18% identity with the CAstV/Poland/G059/2014 isolate. Sajewicz-Krukowska and Domanska-Blicharz (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR35">2016</xref>) suggested that this limited identity of capsid protein of the CAstV/Poland/G059/2014 isolate with other chicken astrovirus capsid protein but higher identity with the duck astroviruses may be due a recombination event and shared ancestors with the duck astroviruses. Among the avian astroviruses, chicken astroviruses were found to share higher identity with the duck astroviruses (Chen et al. <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR8">2012</xref>; Fu et al. <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR10">2009</xref>; Liu et al. <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR22">2014</xref>) as compared to the turkey astroviruses (Koci et al. <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR18">2000</xref>; Strain et al. <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR46">2008</xref>) and the avian nephritis virus isolates (Imada et al. <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR14">2000</xref>; Zhao et al. <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR52">2011a</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR53">b</xref>). We next analysed the sequence similarity of capsid structural protein of the CAstV/INDIA/ANAND/2016 with the capsid protein coding sequence and amino acids sequence of reported sequence of the Indian astrovirus isolates which revealed about 98–99% sequence identity at nucleotide level and about 97–98% sequence identity at amino acids level suggesting limited structural divergence and their common origin in the Indian isolates reported till date.</p><p id="Par21">Phylogenetic analysis of the genome sequences as well as the protein sequences showed clustering of the CAstV/INDIA/ANAND/2016 nearest to that of CastV/4175 and CAstV/GA2011 and all four chicken astrovirus formed separate cluster except capsid protein of the CAstV/Poland/G059/2014 isolate which was clustered along with the duck astroviruses. The clustering of CAstV/Poland/G059/2014 with the duck astrovirus isolate SL5 suggest possible recombination between these isolates (Sajewicz-Krukowska and Domanska-Blicharz <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR35">2016</xref>). Based on nucleotide sequence of genomes and amino acids sequence of serine protease and RdRp, Chicken astroviruses were placed closed to the duck astroviruses compared to turkey astroviruses or avian nephritis viruses. However, based on capsid protein the turkey astroviruses were phylogenetically placed between different isolates of the duck astroviruses as well as near to the CAstV/Poland/G059/2014 isolate. These observations suggest that the capsid protein of turkey, duck and chicken astroviruses evolved through possible recombination between the astroviruses of different avian species and suggests that the turkey and duck may play an important role in epidemiology of avian astroviruses similar to that of influenza viruses (Alexander <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR2">2000</xref>). Among the Indian isolates, phylogenetic analysis of capsid protein showed placement of the CAstV/INDIA/ANAND/2016 between two north zone isolates, however very limited sequence divergence was seen among the reported Indian isolates suggesting their recent emergence and common origin.</p><p id="Par22">Epitope analysis of the capsid protein sequence revealed two unique epitopes in our isolate whereas 7 epitopes were found to be shared among the Indian astrovirus isolates. Except CAstV/Poland/G059/2014 isolate which contained all unique epitopes, other isolates shared two common epitopes. Our analysis suggests that the vaccine design using the Indian astrovirus isolate may provide cross protection against prevailing isolates in India. Further, epitope mapping would be useful to design safe and effective vaccine against divergent astroviruses (Ahmad et al. <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR1">2016</xref>; Soria-Guerra et al. <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR44">2015</xref>).</p><p id="Par23">In summary, whole genome analysis of Indian astrovirus isolate by next generation sequencing technology determined full length genome of the chicken astrovirus isolate for the first time in India. The present study provided genetic relatedness of the circulating Indian isolate with the other reported nearly complete genome sequences of avian astroviruses. The analysis of capsid protein sequence of reported chicken astroviruses from India revealed limited structural divergence suggesting their common ancestral origin and recent emergence. Considering high sequence identity of capsid structural protein among prevailing strains in the India, the CAstV/INDIA/ANAND/2016 isolate could serve as the potential source for its further development as a vaccine candidate. The identification of unique and shared epitopes among different astroviruses will be helpful in designing effective epitope based vaccine formulation.</p></sec><sec
