From 1977 to 1983 the Central Veterinary Laboratory, Weybridge confirmed 19 outbreaks of duck virus enteritis in the United Kingdom. All the outbreaks involved collections of captive waterfowl and there were no reported cases in commercial ducks. In many instances the disease was associated with contact with migrating waterfowl, particularly male mallards (Anas platyrhynchos). Muscovy ducks (Cairina moschata) and related species appeared to be particularly susceptible. The most sensitive system for isolating the virus was muscovy duck embryo tissue cultures. The duckling inoculation test was found to be the most reliable method of confirming the disease.
1977年至1983年间，位于韦布里奇的中央兽医实验室证实英国发生了19起鸭病毒性肠炎疫情。所有疫情均涉及圈养水禽群体，商业养殖鸭中未报告病例。在许多情况下，该病与接触迁徙水禽有关，尤其是雄性绿头鸭（Anas platyrhynchos）。番鸭（Cairina moschata）及相关物种似乎特别易感。分离该病毒最敏感的系统是番鸭胚组织培养。雏鸭接种试验被认为是确诊该病最可靠的方法。
