%X The aim of this study was to develop an efficient and accurate platform for the detection of the newly identified goose megrivirus (GoMV). To achieve this goal, we developed a TaqMan real-time PCR technology for the rapid detection and identification of GoMV. Our data showed that the established TaqMan real-time PCR assay had high sensitivity, with the lowest detection limit of 67.3 copies/μL. No positive signal can be observed from other goose origin viruses (including AIV, GPV, GoCV, GHPyV, and GoAstV), with strong specificity. The coefficients of variation of repeated intragroup and intergroup tests were all less than 1.5%, with excellent repeatability. Clinical sample investigation data from domestic Minbei White geese firstly provided evidence that GoMV can be transmitted both horizontally and vertically. In conclusion, since the TaqMan real-time PCR method has high sensitivity, specificity, and reproducibility, it can be a useful candidate tool for GoMV epidemiological investigation.
