Analysis of the early immune response to infection by infectious bursal disease virus in chickens differing in their resistance to the disease [PDF]
Chicken whole-genome gene expression arrays were used to analyze the host response to infection by infectious bursal disease virus (IBDV). Spleen and bursal tissue were examined from control and infected birds at 2, 3, and 4 days postinfection from two ...

Infectious bursal disease – a review
Infectious bursal disease is a highly contagious disease that accounts for significant economic losses in the poultry industry around the globe including Sri Lanka. The causative agent is Infectious Bursal Disease Virus (IBDV) in the genus Avibirnavirus of the family Birnaviridae.

Classification of infectious bursal disease virus into genogroups [PDF]
Infectious bursal disease virus (IBDV) causes infectious bursal disease (IBD), an immunosuppressive disease of poultry. The current classification scheme of IBDV is confusing because it is based on antigenic types (variant and classical) as well as pathotypes.

Molecular characterisation of infectious bursal disease virus (IBDV) isolated from commercial broiler chickens in Nile Delta, Egypt [PDF]
Infectious bursal disease virus (IBDV) is a highly infectious disease affecting young chickens that alters predominantly the immune system. Emergence of new variants causes severe economic losses not only in Egypt but also all over the world.

Phylogenetic evidence for homologous recombination within the family Birnaviridae [PDF]
Birnaviruses are bi-segmented double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) viruses infecting insects, avian species and a wide range of aquatic species. Although homologous recombination is a common phenomenon in positive-sense RNA viruses, recombination in dsRNA viruses

Intracellular Interference of Infectious Bursal Disease Virus [PDF]
ABSTRACT 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 ...

Plant expression vector's construction of VP2 gene of infectious bursal disease virus
The VP2 gene of infectious bursal disease virus (IBDV, HZ96 strain) was amplified by polymerase chain reaction with special primers containing Kpn Ⅰ and Sal Ⅰ. The purified PCR product was digested by restricted enzymes Kpn Ⅰ and Sal Ⅰ.

A protein with simultaneous capsid scaffolding and dsRNA-binding activities enhances the birnavirus capsid mechanical stability [PDF]
Viral capsids are metastable structures that perform many essential processes; they also act as robust cages during the extracellular phase. Viruses can use multifunctional proteins to optimize resources (e.g., VP3 in avian infectious bursal disease ...
