Comparative Efficacy of Rt-pcr, Agpt and Reverse Passive Haemagglutination Assay for the Detection of Infectious Bursal Disease Virus in Broilers
نویسنده
چکیده
The reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), reverse passive haemagglutination assay (RPHA) and agar gel precipitation test (AGPT) were compared for the detection of infectious bursal disease virus (IBDV) in various organs of experimentally infected broilers. RT-PCR and RPHA required a time of 8 and 1 hour, respectively, whereas AGPT showed precipitation reaction at least after 24-48 hours of incubation. RT-PCR and RPHA were found sensitive to detect IBDV in tissues, whereas AGPT was less sensitive in the detection of IBDV. The RT-PCR was significantly more sensitive to detect IBDV as compared to RPHA, which was significantly more sensitive than AGPT in bursa of Fabricius, liver, kidneys, spleen and thymus samples. RPHA has given economical results for the detection of IBDV in samples from various organs and can be used in field conditions. However, RT-PCR was found to be the most sensitive test among the three tests compared in this study.

Abstract: This study was conducted to characterize infectious bursal disease virus (IBDV) isolates collected from different parts of Iran during 2005-2006. Pooled bursal samples from 49 broiler and layer pullet flocks suspected to IBD infection were collected and processed. A reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT PCR) procedure was used to amplify a VP2 gene fragment (743 bp) from...
