Abstract: The goose astrovirus mainly infects the goslings within 3 weeks old. At the initial stage of infection， goslings show loss of appetite，listlessness and weakness of limbs. As the disease deteriorates，they show symptoms such as white feces，swelling of leg joints，uric acid deposition and paralysis，etc. The high incidence and up to 30% mortality rate would cause serious harm to the goose industry in China. In this article，it reviews the research process of goose astrovirus disease from six parts：etiology，epidemiology and pathogenicity，symptomatology，laboratory diagnosis，prevention and control，and prospect. The astrovirus was separated by taking diseased material for goose embryo inoculation and virus transmission culture，and identified by RT?PCR and other methods. It is expected that an effective attenuated vaccine will be cultivated by multi?generation subculture in non?susceptible animals. Practitioners are recommended to prevent and control goose astrovirus disease through measures such as injecting effective vaccine， cutting off the transmission route and rational use of drugs in the geese production.
