Avian metapneumovirus subtype C (aMPV/C), a re-emerging and widespread epidemic in China, causes hydrosalpinx fluid syndrome (HFS) in laying ducks, resulting in significant economic losses to the poultry industry. In the absence of any licensed vaccines or antiviral drugs for aMPV/C, accurate diagnosis and timely e...
