Infectious Bursal Disease Virus: Ribonucleoprotein Complexes of a Double-Stranded RNA Virus

Characterization of a Highly Virulent Infectious Bursal Disease Virus

Isolation, Characterization and Standardization of New Infectious Bursal Disease Virus for Development of a Live Vaccine

Background and Aims: Infectious bursal disease (IBD) is an acute contagious viral disease of birds worldwide. The causative virus induces a persistent immune suppression following destroy B lymphocytes precursors in bursal lymphoid follicles. Vaccination is the main strategy for prevention of the disease in commercial poultry industry. Materials and Methods: To produce a live vaccine against th...

Conformational analysis of Infectious bursal disease virus

Aim: This study was designed to develop peptide analogs of Infectious Bursal Disease (IBD) virus VP5 protein segment having cell penetrating ability to improve their interaction with cargo molecule (Nucleic acid) without affecting the backbone conformation. Materials and Methods: IBDV VP5 protein segment designated as RATH peptide were synthesized using solid phase peptide synthesis and their s...

Structure of infectious bursal disease virus.

Infectious bursal disease virus of chickens was purified, and its structure was examined by the negative-staining technique in the electron microscope. The buoyant density of infectious bursal disease virus in CsCl was found to be 1.34 g/cm(3). The morphological details suggest that the capsid of the virion consists of a single layer of 32 capsomeres arranged in 5:3:2 symmetry. The virion measu...

Pathogenicity Study and Restriction Enzyme Profile of a Recently Isolated Infectious Bursal Disease Virus in Iran

The pathogenicity of a recent isolate of Infectious bursal disease virus (IBDV), IR499, isolated from a nonvaccinated flock with 17.5 % mortality rate in susceptible SPF chickens, chickens embryos and broilers was discussed. The molecular characterization of the virus based on the restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) pattern was also investigated. The mortality rates were 85% and 22%...
