An attempt was made to standardize an in-house immuno-enzyme assay for measuring antibodies of infectious bursal disease virus (IBDV) in chicken. The test was performed after coating plates with ELISA antigens prepared by two methods. Antigen “A” was prepared from infectious bursal disease virus infected chicken embryo fibroblasts culture by concentration with dialysis against PEG-6000 while an...

Juranová, R. , Nguyen Thi Nga, L. Kulíková, V. Jurajda: Pathogenicity of Czech Isolates of Infectious Bursal Disease Virus. Acta Vet. Brno, 2001, 70: 425-431. An epidemics of infectious bursal disease (IBD) affected chicken farms in the Czech Republic in the mid nineties. Characteristics of six strains of infectious bursal disease virus (IBDV), isolated from broiler chickens, lying hybrid pulle...

Infectious bursal disease (IBD) is a highly contagious disease of chickens caused by the infectious bursal disease virus (IBDV). This study was conducted to characterize three IBDV strains from Iran. A reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) procedure was used to amplify a 715-bp fragment of the VP1 gene from IBDV strains. Amplified VP1 fragments of the three Iranian IBDV strai...

The study was conducted to determine the prevalence of infectious bursal disease virus (IBDV) at different ages in commercial boilers. From Oct 2003 to Nov 2004, bursa samples collected from both vaccinated as well non-vaccinated commercially reared broiler chickens suspected of having infectious bursal disease were analyzed for the presence of IBDV using reverse transcriptase polymerase chain ...
