Since 2005, novel duck reoviruses have been outbreaks in duck breeding areas such as central China and South China. In recent years, the incidence rate of this disease is still increasing, bringing serious economic losses to waterfowl breeding industry. This study isolated 3 novel duck reoviruses (NDRV-SDLS, NDRV-SDWF, and NDRV-SDYC) from sick ducks in 3 local duck farms in Shandong Province. The study aimed to investigate the characteristics of these viruses. The virus is inoculated into duck embryo fibroblasts, where the virus replicates to produce syncytium and dies within 3 to 5 d. The viruses were also isolated from infected ducks, and RT-PCR amplified the whole genomes after passage purification in duck embryos. The resulting whole genome was analyzed for genetic evolution. The total length of the gene sequencing was 23,418 bp, divided into 10 fragments. Gene sequence comparison showed that the 3 strains had high similarity with novel duck reoviruses (NDRV) but low similarity with chicken-origin reovirus (chicken ARV) and Muscovy duck reovirus (MDRV), especially in the σC segment. Phylogenetic analysis of the 10 fragments showed that the 3 isolates constituted the same evolutionary clade as other DRV reference strains and were far related to ARV and MDRV in different evolutionary clades. The results of all 10 segments indicate that the isolates are in the evolutionary branch of NDRV, suggesting that the novel waterfowl reovirus is the dominant circulating strain in Shandong. This study complements the gene bank information of NDRV and provides references for vaccine research and disease prediction of NDRV in Shandong.
