Abstract: To investigate the epidemiology and analysis on Tembusu virus in ducks, all of 6854 samples were collected from laying ducks, ducks for breeding and meat ducks which were from duck farms of Fujian, Jiangxi, Zhejiang, Guangdong and Guangxi Provinces during 2010—2013. These samples were detected by indirect ELISA and the results were also analyzed. The results showed that all antibodies against Tembusu virus of laying ducks, ducks for breeding and meat ducks were positive except meat muscovy ducks. The positive rate of antibody level against Tembusu virus was uneven. The results indicated that Tembusu viruses were still prevalent in ducks. And the infection spectrum had extended to meat ducks. It would be the scientific basis of the prevention of Tembusu virus in ducks in these provinces even all the country.
