sequence analysis of the vp1 gene in three very virulent iranian infectious bursal disease virus strains
Authors
abstract
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 strains were sequenced and compared with published sequences of ibdv strains from around the world, and their phylogenetic relationships were analyzed. alignment of ibdv strains revealed 23 nucleotide differences between vvibdv (except for il and pt) and other non-vvibdv strains. two nucleotide positions, 863g and 1023a, were specific as jrmp07ir and jrmp14ir strains. all vvibdvs differed (except for il and pt strains) from non-vvibdvs at aa (amino acids) positions 242e and 287a. in the three iranian ibdv strains, aa positions 251r in both jrmp07ir and jrmp14ir, and 360l in jrmp14ir differed from those of other vvibdvs. in phylogenetic analyses, all three iranian strains clustered together with vvibdvs. one iranian strain,jrmp30ir, was more closely related to two european strains (hol and uk661) and two south-east asian strains (okym and zj2000). however, the other two iranian strains, jrmp07ir and jrmp14ir, were closer to two turkish strains (oa/g1 and oe/g2) and a malaysian strain (upm94). further comprehensive investigations will provide researchers a better knowledge on the distribution, variability, and phylogenetic relationships of different ibdvs isolated in iran and other parts of the world.

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 an...
full textPartial VP1 sequencing of Brazilian infectious bursal disease virus strains
Infectious bursal disease virus (IBDV) is classified according to the antigenicity and virulence into classical virulent (cv), very virulent (vv), and antigenic variant strains. The molecular basis for the IBDV antigenic variation is well established and is associated to the capsid protein, VP2 (gene VP2 of segment A), whereas both VP2 and the RNA-dependent RNA polymerase, VP1 (gene VP1 of segm...
full textGenome Sequence of a Novel Reassortant and Very Virulent Strain of Infectious Bursal Disease Virus
Here, we report the complete coding genome sequence of a novel reassortant and very virulent infectious bursal disease virus (IBDV), designated JBN2011. Characterization of the JBN2011 genome suggests that it is a rare recombinant virus having a very virulent IBDV segment A and a Bursine-2-like attenuated IBDV segment B.
