Goose hemorrhagic polyomavirus (GHPV) is the causative agent of hemorrhagic nephritis enteritis of geese (HNEG), one of the major diseases of domestic geese in Europe. This case report describes a persistent outbreak of a GHPV infection on a Belgian goose farm. Clinical symptoms, necropsy lesions, and histopathologic lesions observed were compatible with previous reports of HNEG outbreaks. PCR analysis confirmed the diagnosis of GHPV. To our knowledge, this is the first report of an outbreak of a GHPV infection on a Belgian goose farm. This is evidence that GHPV is not only present in countries known for extensive waterfowl production, but disease outbreaks also occur in countries with less extensive goose production.
鹅出血性多瘤病毒（GHPV）是鹅出血性肾炎肠炎（HNEG）的病原体，HNEG是欧洲家鹅的主要疾病之一。本病例报告描述了比利时一个养鹅场持续爆发的GHPV感染。观察到的临床症状、尸检病变和组织病理学病变与之前关于HNEG爆发的报告相符。PCR分析证实了GHPV的诊断。据我们所知，这是比利时养鹅场爆发GHPV感染的首例报告。这证明GHPV不仅存在于以广泛水禽养殖而闻名的国家，在鹅养殖规模较小的国家也会发生疾病爆发。
