Summary
The present study was conducted in order to isolate, identify and characterize fowl aviadenovirus associated with inclusion body hepatitis (IBH) in three poultry farms (two of broiler chickens and one of breeder broiler chickens) in Morocco during 2015. Liver samples collected from affected three poultry farms were examined by histopathological examination. Tissue samples showing necrosis of hepatocytes associated with basophilic intranuclear inclusion bodies were homogenized and submitted to FAdV isolation in chicken embryo fibroblast (CEF) cell cultures and in SPF embryonated eggs. The cytopathic effect (CPE) was observed in the second passage with swelling and rounding of infected cells. The inoculated embryos were hemorrhagic and showed hepatitis with the presence of basophilic intra-nuclear inclusion bodies within hepatocytes. The presence of the virus was confirmed by conventional polymerase chain reaction based on hexon gene from all investigated samples. Moreover, phylogenetic analysis of the hexon gene revealed that FAdVs isolated from different affected poultry belonged to FAdV 11 serotype of the D genotype group. This work is the first isolation in cell culture and SPF embryonated eggs of FAdV from Moroccan broilers and breeder broiler chickens with IBH.

Introduction
Inclusion body hepatitis (IBH) is an acute disease, mainly occuring in young broiler chickens (3–7 weeks old) and caused by several serotypes of fowl adenovirus (FAdV) [1]. FAdVs are classified within the Aviadenovirus genus, family of Adenoviridae, and are further classified into five species (FadV-A to FAdV-E) and 12 serotypes (FAdV-1 to 8a and 8b to 11) based on cross neutralization assay [2,3]. The IBH has been reported in other avian species, including turkeys [4], pigeons [5,6,7], geese [8], psittacine birds [9,10].
Natural outbreaks of IBH are characterized by a sudden onset of mortality which peaks within 3–4 days and return to normal by days 5–6. Mortality usually ranges from 5% to 10%, but can reach 30% [11,12]. The morbidity is low and sick chickens adopt a crouching position with ruffled feathers [6, 13]. FAdVs can be transmitted vertically through the embryonated egg or horizontally through feces, by means of personnel and transport [1].
At necropsy examination, the liver of affected birds is pale, friable, swollen and petechial hemorrhages may be present in skeletal muscle. Basophilic or eosinophilic intranuclear inclusion bodies are often observed in degenerated hepatocytes [13,14,15].
Diagnosis of IBH can be carried out through the observation of gross and histopathological changes, virus isolation and by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) allowing the detection of FAdVs with primer sequences based on the hexon gene [16,17,18]. DNA sequencing and restriction enzyme analysis can be used for FAdV typing [19,20].
In Morocco, the IBH was first reported in chickens between 2013 and 2015 based on necropsy and histopathology investigations. The lungs were congested and the livers were swollen, pale with necrosis of hepatocytes associated with large basophilic intranuclear inclusion bodies [21, 22]. In 2017, a case of IBH was described in broiler breeders [23]. Thereafter, some circulating FAdV from broiler poultry during 2017–2018 were identified and found to belong to FAdV-11 and FAdV-8a [24].
Despite the diagnosis of those cases, trials to isolate FadV have never been undertaken from field cases in Morocco. The aim of this work was to isolate and to characterize at the molecular level FAdV from field outbreaks of IBH that occurred during 2015. This can be used to implement a control strategy based on vaccination.
Material and methods
Ethics statement
This work was carried out in accordance with the guidelines of the National Food Safety Agency in Morocco (NFSAM). Embryonated eggs used were from the Division of Pharmacy and Veterinary Inputs (NFSA) which is reporting to the NFSAM.
Virus isolation was obtained from 17-day old SPF embryonated chicken eggs. Surviving embryos were anesthetized by intravenous injection in chorioallontoic vascular system using sodium pentobarbital (Dolethal, IPV Morocco) and all efforts were made to ovoid suffering.
Samples collection and preparation
Liver samples were collected during 2015 from birds originating from 3 poultry farms (2 of broiler chickens and one of breeder broiler chicken) after being suspected at post-mortem examination to be affected by avian adenovirus infection. Fragments of liver tissues were fixed in 10% neutral buffered formalin (NBF) for histopathological examination. Other fragments of liver samples were aseptically collected in sterile bags and stored at -80°C until further processing. After thawing, the samples were homogenized in phosphate buffered saline (PBS) 10% containing 200U/ml penicillin and 0.2mg/ml streptomycin. Homogenates were centrifuged at 2000 g for 10 min at 4°C. The supernatant was filtered through 0, 45μm filter and transferred to fresh sterile tube and conserved at −80°C until further use.
Histopathological examination
NBF-fixed tissues were embedded in paraffin according to standard methods, and 4 μm sections were performed, and stained with hematoxylin and eosin and examined under light microscope for microscopic changes.
Preparation of chicken embryo fibroblasts cell culture (CEF)
Chicken embryo fibroblasts (CEF) cell culture was prepared from 11-day-old SPF chicken embryos according to standard procedure. The embryos were removed aseptically and washed twice with PBS. The embryos tissue was minced and washed gently with PBS and trypsinized gently with 0,25% trypsin-EDTA solution at 37°C for 20 min. The trypsinized cells were decanted and filtered through sterile gauze tied to sterile beaker. To stop the activity of residual trypsin, the growth medium (Eagle’s medium) (MEM) supplemented with 10% foetal calf serum (FCS), 100U/ml penicillin and 0.1 mg/ml streptomycin. The filtrate containing cells was centrifuged at 1500 rpm for 20 min at 4°C. The cell concentration was adjusted to 5 x 106 cell/ml of the medium and cell suspension in 10ml volume was seeded in 25 cm2 tissue culture flasks and incubated at 37°C under 5% CO2 until confluent monolayer is formed.
Isolation of FAdV in CEF cell culture
The complete CEF monolayer cultures were washed with PBS and 500 μl of liver tissue homogenates were inoculated in 25 cm2 tissue culture flasks. The inoculum was allowed to adsorb onto the cells at 37°C for 60 min, after that, 8ml of the maintenance medium containing 2% FCS was added to the culture. The infected flasks and uninfected flaks used as control, were incubated at 37°C under 5% CO2 and the monolayers were observed for cytopathic effect (CPE) daily for 7days. Inoculated cells were passaged by three cycles of freezing and thawing the flasks, then centrifuged at 2000 rpm for 10min. 500 μl of supernatant was inoculated onto freshly prepared CEFs cell monolayers.
Isolation of FAdV in SPF embryonated chicken eggs
Isolation was also attempted with 10-day old SPF embryonated chicken eggs (ECEs) by inoculating 0,1ml of liver tissue homogenates by the chorioallontoic route into five ECEs per sample. Five ECEs inoculated with phosphate buffer saline (PBS) were used as a negative control. The eggs were incubated at 37°C for 7 days and candled daily. Embryos mortalities which occurred before 48h were regarded as non-specific and discarded. All embryos which died after 48h post-inoculation, as well as all those which survived until experiment termination, were harvested and necropsied. Liver samples were collected for histopathological and molecular examinations.
FAdV detection by PCR
DNA extraction
Aliquots (200 μl) of supernatant from second and third passage of infected cell monolayers as well as the supernatant of homogenized liver tissues of affected chickens and inoculated embryos were processed for extraction of viral DNA using the Macherey Nagel Kit (Nucleospin Tissue, Germany) according to the manufacturer’s instructions but without preparing and pre-lyse sample steps. Briefly, the supernatant was mixed with 200μl and 210 μl of buffer B3 and 100% ethanol respectively. DNA was eluted in 100μl of nuclease-free water, and 5μl per PCR was used for the template.
Primers set
The primers were designed from conserved reported sequences identical to a region of the hexon protein gene of several FAdVs (group I–III) that can be used to identify the group and type. The specificity of the following primers has been widely tested in previous studies: HexF1, 5’GAYRGYHGGRTNBTGGAYATGGG-3’ and HexR1, 5’-TACTTATCNACRGCYTGRTTCCA-3’ [16]. These primers theoretically yield an 800 bp amplicon.
Polymerase chain reaction (PCR)
Reagents from Taq DNA Polymerase recombinant kit (Invitrogen, ThermoFisher, USA) were used to prepare the reaction mix. PCR was performed in a final volume of 25μl containing 2.5μl of 10X Taq polymerase buffer, 2 mM magnesium chloride, 0.8 mM dNTP Mix and 2.5 U of Taq DNA polymerase. PCR was amplified using the following cycling profile: one initial denaturation step at 95°C for 5 min; 35 cycles of 94°C for 30 s, 55°C for 30 s, and extension at 72°C for 30 s. The liver sample from clinical affected chickens confirmed positive by histological examination was used as a positive control whereas DNA extracted from SPF poultry liver was used as a negative control.
Agarose gel analysis of PCR products
Agarose gel electrophoresis (1.2% UltraPureTM Agarose, Invitrogen, USA) was used to analyze the amplified DNA. The DNA fragments were visualized by Omega Lum G instrument (Aplegen, USA).
FAdV sequencing and phylogenetic analysis
The amplified PCR fragments were purified using EXOSAP-IT (USB, USA) and bidirectionally sequenced on an ABI 3130 Xl automated sequencer (Applied Biosystems, Foster City, CA, USA) using BigDye Terminator version 3.1 Kits with the same primers as those used for the amplification. The analysis of electrophoregram was done using the sequencing Analysis Software version 5.3.1 (Applied Biosystems, Foster City, CA, USA). The sequences were first aligned by using the Clustal W program. The FAdV sequences were edited and compared with published sequences available in GenBank, using BLAST tool of the National Center for Biotechnology Information NCBI. Evolutionary trees for the data set were inferred by using the Neighbor-Joining program of MEGA version 6. The stability of relationships was assessed by performing bootstrap analyses of the Neighbor-Joining data based on 500 resamplings. The FAdV sequences generated have been deposited in the GenBank database under the accession numbers MK468898, MK468899 and MK468900.
Results
Histopathological findings
Histopthological examination of liver originating from the 3 affected chicken farms revealed severe and extensive hepatic necrosis associated with the presence of basophilic intra-nuclear inclusion bodies within hepatocytes compatible with the diagnosis of inclusion body hepatitis (Fig 1).
Isolation of the virus in CEF cell culture
Monolayers of CEF cultures were infected with liver homogenates of affected chickens from the three farms. The first CPE was observed at about 48 h post-inoculation during the second passage. Infected cells were rounding and started to detach from the monolayers and clump by 72h whereas no such changes were observed in the uninfected CEFs cell cultures. The third passage gave CPE within 24h post-infection and involved majority of the cells in monolayers. Micro-photographies of uninfected chicken embryo fibroblasts cell culture and monolayer of CEF cell culture showing CPE are given in (Fig 2).
Isolation of FAdV in SPF embryonated chicken eggs
All embryos inoculated with liver homogenate of affected chickens from the three poultry farms, died after 3–4 days post inoculation. The inoculated embryos were hemorrhagic, and showed enlarged livers, with either yellow to reddish foci or diffuse greenish discoloration (Figs 3 and 4). Histological examination showed acute hepatitis with necrotic hepatocytes and presence of basophilic intra-nuclear inclusion bodies within hepatocytes.
Virus detection by PCR
The PCR products visualized in agarose gel electrophoresis showed the presence of amplified DNA products of 800 bp in all the DNA samples from the supernatant of second and third passages of infected CEF cells and from liver homogenates of affected chickens of the three poultry farms as well as from liver homogenates of inoculated embryos (Fig 5). This result confirms the presence of hexon protein gene specific for fowl adenovirus.
These molecular investigations have confirmed that Fowl adenovirus is causative agent of IBH in broiler and broiler breeders chickens in Morocco.
Sequence alignment and phylogenetic analysis
The nucleotide sequences of the three FAdV strains isolated in Morocco in both broiler and broiler breeder farms were completely identical (100%). According to phylogenetic analysis based on the hexon gene with available sequences from GenBank, all FAdVs were classified as FAdV-D serotype 11 (Fig 6), showing the same nucleotide identities with the European serotype 11 isolated also in USA (Accession n° DQ323984) and Chinese serotypes (Accession n° MF 573933, KY 012057).
Interestingly, maximum similarities (99%) with the other isolated strains in India and Saudi Arabia have been noted.
We also compared our nucleotide sequences of the three FAdV strain with the sequences that were identified in Morocco in 2018 by Redondo et al, the result showed a sequence identity of 94%.
On the other hand, the nucleotide sequences of Moroccan FAdVs strains showed low sequence identity (<80%) with Fowl adenovirus 11- UF71 strain (Accession n° EU979378) and C2B strain (Accession n° AF508959).
Discussion
In recent years, the clinical cases of IBH have been increasing all over the world [25], resulting in considerable economic losses in many countries, such as USA [26], India [27], Canada [28], Hungary [29], Korea [30], Lebanon [31] and Spain [32]. Most of these outbreaks have been associated with genotypes FAdv-D or–E, with serotypes 2, 11, 8a and 8b being the most frequently involved [25].
In Morocco, outbreaks of IBH in chickens were reported in 2013 [21]. Diagnosis was based on postmortem and histopathological examinations which revealed enlarged and pale liver with the presence of basophilic intranuclear inclusion bodies in hepatocytes. Thereafter, several other cases of IBH in 2 to 3 wk-old broiler chickens were detected on 2015 based on macroscopic and microscopic changes [22] followed by one case of IBH that has been described in broiler breeders in 2017 [23]. In 2018, the FAdV from broiler poultry was characterized and found belonging to FAdV-11 and FAdV-8a [24]. In most of the cases of IBH in Morocco, the FAdV was never been isolated and identified as the causative agent of IBH. In the present study two broiler farms and one broiler breeder farm affected by IBH during 2015 were investigated in order to determine and confirm the causative agent. The liver samples of affected chickens from the three farms were examined by histopathology, and the FAdV was successfully isolated in chicken embryo fibroblasts (CEF) cell culture and in SPF embryonated eggs. Then the FAdV was identified by conventional PCR based on hexon gene and characterized by phylogenetic assays.
The histopathological findings in livers from naturally affected chickens (of the three farms) and inoculated embryos including necrosis of hepatocytes with basophilic intranuclear inclusion bodies (INIB) are similar to the observations of earlier workers [33, 34, 35]. The presence of intranuclear inclusion bodies in the hepatocytes is considered typical of FAdV infection in IBH. Indeed, the presence of INIB in hepatocytes have been shown by inoculation of FAdV to specific pathogen free (SPF) embryonated eggs via the chorioallantoic membrane and was observed at 5–6 dpi and the adenovirus particles were identified in liver samples of embryos by transmission electron microscopy [36]. Furthermore, SPF chickens infected with different strains of FAdV showed the presence of INIB in hepatocytes at the histological examination of liver tissues [32, 37, 38].
The FAdV was isolated in chicken embryo fibroblast (CEF) cell culture inoculated with liver tissue homogenates. The cytopathic effect (CPE) was observed in the second passage. Swelling and rounding of the infected cells appeared within 48h of infection, and by 72h the cells started detaching from the monolayers. In earlier studies in which the CEF cell cultures were inoculated with different strain of FAdV, the CPE was observed in second or third passage [39, 40, 41]. The isolation of FAdV can be performed in different types of cell cultures, therefore in the majority of studies, the virus isolation of FAdV is performed on primary chicken embryo liver (CEL) cells [17,35,42,43,44,45,46,47,48]. In other studies, the FAdV isolation was performed in chicken embryo kidney (CEK) cell cultures [49,50,51]. The isolation of FAdV was successful in chicken hepatoma (CH) cell line as well [52, 53, 54]. In the present work FAdV was also isolated in SPF embryonated chicken eggs from liver homogenates. The inoculated embryos were hemorrhagic and livers were enlarged with yellow, reddish foci and/or diffuse greenish discoloration. The histopathological examination of liver samples of inoculated embryos showed necrotic hepatocytes with presence of basophilic intra-nuclear inclusion bodies within hepatocytes. This result confirms the presence of FAdV in embyonated eggs. These results were similar to those reported by earlier workers [42,55]. In the present study, FAdV was successfully isolated in CEF cell cultures and in SPF embryonated eggs from the liver samples collected from affected chickens of the 3 flocks.
The molecular tool of PCR is being widely used to amplify and detect FAdVs specific gene in clinical samples for confirmatory diagnosis of diseases associated with these viruses [56, 57]. In our study the cell culture supernatant from second and third passage of the three isolates as well as the liver homogenates of affected chickens and liver homogenates of inoculated embryos were subjected to DNA extraction and PCR amplification using primer pair HexF1/HexR1. Specific product of 800 bp was detected by electrophoresis in 1% agarose gel. These results confirm the presence of FAdV in the infected cell culture fluid, in liver samples of the three poultry farms and in inoculated embryos. In this study we used the same primers used by earlier workers [16, 49, 58].
The nucleotide sequences analysis showed that the three FAdV isolates belonged to FAdV serotype 11 of the D genotype group. This strain was responsible for different inclusion body hepatitis outbreaks in poultry in Canada [28], China [59], Hungary [29], Australia [38], Lebanon [31], Spain [32] and Iran [60].
In phylogenetic analysis, the sequences of three FAdV strains were compared with the sequences identified in Morocco in 2018 by Redondo et al. The result showed a sequence identity of 94%.
The phylogenetic analysis revealed that the three FAdVs strains have the same nucleotide identities with the European serotype 11. This result suggests that the FAdVs isolated were most probably introduced into the country through vertically infected day old broiler breeder birds imported from Europe.
The high similarity between breeder and broiler FAdV suggests that the viruses may vertically transfer to the progeny and spread laterally among the flocks.
The recent work, Redondo et al. (2018) has identified FAdV 11 and 8b in broiler chickens in Morocco while Salek and El Houadfi described a case of IBH in broiler breeders chicken with FAdV 11 in 2017. However, IBH virus isolation has never been carried out in Morocco. Virus isolation is a crucial step in vaccine development and control strategies of IBH in the country. In the present work, FAdV was successfully isolated in CEF cell culture and in SPF embryonated eggs from liver samples of broilers and broiler breeders with IBH.
To our knowledge, this is the first work in which the isolation and identification of Moroccan FAdV in CEF cell culture and in SPF embryonated eggs were achieved from broiler and broiler breeder poultry with IBH. Phylogenetic analysis of the FAdV hexon gene of the isolated virus proved that it closely related to a strain previously classified as serotype FAdV 11. These results are the starting point for further investigations into the epidemiology of FAdVs in Morocco and for pathogenicity studies of the local isolated viruses.
