چکیده

A search for dominant-negative mutant polypeptides hampering infectious bursal disease virus (IBDV) replication has been undertaken. We have found that expression of a mutant version of the VP3 structural polypeptide known as VP3/M3, partially lacking the domain responsible for the interaction with the virus-encoded RNA polymerase, efficiently interferes with the IBDV replication cycle. Transformed cells stably expressing VP3/M3 show a significant reduction (up to 96%) in their ability to support IBDV growth. Our findings provide a new tool for the characterization of the IBDV replication cycle and might facilitate the generation of genetically modified chicken lines with a reduced susceptibility to IBDV infection.

Effect of experimental infectious bursal disease virus on clinical signs and pathogenesis of avian influenza virus H9N2 in turkey by real time PCR

Infectious bursal disease virus (IBDV) in turkeys may result in immunosuppression, and inability of turkeys to resist nonpathogenic or less pathogenic organisms. A total number of 120 day-old commercial male turkeys were purchased and blood samples were collected from 20 day-old turkeys, remaining 100 were divided into four equal groups and kept in separated rooms. Groups 1 and 2 were infected ...

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%...
