Single-tube, noninterrupted reverse transcription-PCR for detection of infectious bursal disease virus.

Comparison between Micro and Tube Virus Neutralization Tests for Detection of Serological Responses to Infectious Bursal Disease Virus Following Vaccination

Rapid detection of infectious bursal disease by loop-mediated isothermal amplification for field analysis

Infectious bursal disease (IBD) is an immunosuppressive, acute and highly contagious illness of growing-poultry stock infected with infectious bursal disease virus (IBDV). It is common in Pakistan, causing potential economic losses throughout the year. The objective of the study is to propose a rapid, sensitive and specific diagnostic tool, and compare it with existing commonly used reverse tra...

Expression of the VP2 gene of classical D78 infectious bursal disease virus in the methylotrophic yeast Pichia pastoris as a secretory protein

Infectious bursal disease virus (IBDV) is the causative agent of Gumboro disease, an infectious disease of global economic importance in poultry. The expression of heterologous proteins in P.pastoris is fast, simple and inexpensive. In this study, VP2 encoding gene of classical D78 IBDV was amplified using reverse transcription (RT) polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and cloned into pPICZαA vector...

Comparative Efficacy of Rt-pcr, Agpt and Reverse Passive Haemagglutination Assay for the Detection of Infectious Bursal Disease Virus in Broilers

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...

Detection of Infectious Bursal Disease Virus in Field Outbreaks in Broiler Chickens by Reverse Transcription-Polymerase Chain Reaction

During the period from July 2002 to June 2003, infectious bursal disease (IBD) was suspected in 101 commercial flocks of broiler chickens on the basis of clinical and post mortem findings in some districts of the Haryana state, India. Bursal samples were collected randomly from 20 flocks for the detection of infectious bursal disease virus (IBDV) by reverse transcriptionpolymerase chain reactio...
