Pathogenicity Study and Restriction Enzyme Profile of a Recently Isolated Infectious Bursal Disease Virus in Iran
Authors
Abstract:
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% in SPF and broiler chickens, respectively. The bursal weight indexes were 4.7 and 1.2 for SPF birds and 1.7 and 0.7 for susceptible broilers four and nine days post inoculation, respectively. The gross lesions were generalized including moderate to sever bursal hemorrhage. Using RT-PCR, a 643bp PCR product was amplified then nested PCR was carried out to amplify a 552bp PCR product. The 552bp product was subjected to SspI, StuI, HhaI and SacI restriction enzymes digestion which was SspI and StuI double positive and HhaI and SacI double negative. The pathogenicity and RFLP pattern finding confirmed that the IR499 virus could be classified as a very virulent IBDV.

Various commercial vaccines for immunization of broiler chickens against infectious bursal disease (IBD) are available, so it would be appropriate to compare the pathogenicity and immune response of chickens to these vaccines. In this study the pathogenicity and serologic response of four IBD vaccines, cloned D78®, Bursine-2®, Bursimune® and Cevac Gambo-L®, were evaluated in specific pathogen f...

Background and Aims: Infectious bursal disease (IBD) is an acute contagious viral disease of birds worldwide. The causative virus induces a persistent immune suppression following destroy B lymphocytes precursors in bursal lymphoid follicles. Vaccination is the main strategy for prevention of the disease in commercial poultry industry. Materials and Methods: To produce a live vaccine against th...

VP2 gene coding region of a vaccinal strain (D78) of infectious bursal disease virus (IBDV) was clonedin a eukaryotic expression vector, pSec Tag2A. The gene was placed downstream of Ig κ chain leadersequence, under the control of human cytomegalovirus (hCMV) immediate early enhancer and promoter. Theconstruct pSec Tag2A-VP2 was transfected in COS-7 cell line and the expression and secretion of...
