Infectious bursal disease (IBD) is a highly contagious disease of chickens caused by Infectious bursal disease virus (IBDV). In turkeys, however, infection with classical virulent IBDV strains lead only to subclinical forms of the disease. We attempted to isolate IBDV from the bursa of turkey and characterize it. Amplification of a 743-bp fragment of VP2 gene by RT-PCR and restriction analysis ...

vp2 protein is the major host protective immunogen of infectious bursal disease virus (ibdv) of chickens. plants are now gaining widespread acceptance as a general platform for the large scale production of recombinant proteins including vaccine, antibodies and pharmaceuticals. in present study vp2 gene of an iranian isolate of ibdv was cloned under strong plant expression promoter camv35s and ...

The novel infectious bursal disease virus (IBDV) isolate BGE14/ABT1/MVC/India is a very virulent IBDV that was isolated from broiler flocks in southern parts of India during 2014. Here, we report, for the first time in India, the complete genome sequence of BGE14/ABT1/MVC/India, a reassortment strain with segments A and B derived from a very virulent IBDV strain and an attenuated IBDV, respecti...

Infectious bursal disease (also known as IBD, Gumboro Disease, Infectious Bursitis and Infectious Avian Nephrosis) is a highly contagious disease of young chickens caused by infectious bursal disease virus (IBDV), characterized by immunosuppression and mortality generally at 3 to 6 weeks of age. The disease was first discovered in the USA, near the town of Gumboro, Delaware in 1962. It is econo...

Newcastle disease virus (NDV) strain F is a lentogenic vaccine strain used for primary vaccination in day-old chickens against Newcastle disease (ND) in India and Southeast Asian countries. Recombinant NDV-F virus and another recombinant NDV harboring the major capsid protein VP2 gene of a very virulent infectious bursal disease virus (IBDV); namely rNDV-F and rNDV-F/VP2, respectively, were gen...

Immunosuppression can increase the susceptibility of chickens to other disease-causing pathogens and interfere with efficacy vaccination against those pathogens. Chicken anaemia virus (CAV) infectious bursal disease (IBDV) are common causes immunosuppression in chickens. was induced by experimental infection either CAV or IBDV assess effect on Mycoplasma gallisepticum strain ts-304 virulent M. ...
