Very Virulent Infectious Bursal Disease Virus

چکیده

The primary feature of vvIBDV is the ability to induce high mortality. Mortality ranges from 5% – 25% in broilers and 30% – 70% in layers. Surviving birds are severely affected with a high condemnation rate. vvIBDV induces clinical signs similar to Gumboro disease, which is induced by classical virulent strains of IBDV, except that the disease is more pronounced and acute in individual birds and generalised in flocks. Lesions are also more pronounced with haemorrhages in the bursa of Fabricius and muscular tissue and rapid bursal and thymic regression. Microscopic lesions are similar to those seen with classical types of IBDV.

Rapid differentiation between very virulent and classical infectious bursal disease viruses isolated in Iran by RT-PCR/REA

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...

Sequence analysis of the VP1 gene in three very virulent Iranian infectious bursal disease virus strains

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...

An experimental study on early pathogenesis of a very mvirulent isolate of infectious bursal disease virus, employing immunohistochemistry

In this study, immunohistochemistry was used to clarify the early stages of viral kinetics and cycliccourse of IBDV, IR499, which has been described earlier as a very virulent strain (vvIBDV). Fifteen, 4-week-old SPF chickens were inoculated with 10³ EID50 of vvIBDV, IR499, via oculo/nasal route. Five birdsserved as controls, and inoculated with phosphate buffered saline (PBS). The birds were t...
