Structure of Infectious Bursal Disease Virus [PDF]
Infectious bursal disease virus of chickens was purified, and its structure was examined by the negative-staining technique in the electron microscope. The buoyant density of infectious bursal disease virus in CsCl was found to be 1.34 g/cm 3 . The morphological details suggest that the capsid of the virion consists

Protective oral vaccination against infectious bursal disease virus using the major viral antigenic protein VP2 produced in Pichia pastoris. [PDF]
Infectious bursal disease virus (IBDV) causes economically important immunosuppressive disease in young chickens. The self-assembling capsid protein (VP2) from IBDV strain IR01 was expressed in Pichia pastoris resulting in the formation of homomeric, 23 ...

Viral proteins expressed in the protozoan parasite Eimeria tenella are detected by the chicken immune system [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Eimeria species are parasitic protozoa that cause coccidiosis, an intestinal disease commonly characterised by malabsorption, diarrhoea and haemorrhage that is particularly important in chickens.

Characteristics of Bursal T Lymphocytes Induced by Infectious Bursal Disease Virus [PDF]
ABSTRACTInfectious bursal disease virus (IBDV) is an avian lymphotropic virus that causes immunosuppression. When specific-pathogen-free chickens were exposed to a pathogenic strain of IBDV (IM), the virus rapidly destroyed B cells in the bursa of Fabricius. Extensive viral replication was accompanied by an infiltration of T cells in the bursa.

Simultaneous detection of vaccinal and field infectious bursal disease viruses in layer chickens challenged with a very virulent strain after vaccination [PDF]
Infectious bursal disease virus is an important poultry pathogen. It is distributed worldwide and causes significant economic losses. In this study, a system was adopted for the simultaneous monitoring of vaccine and virulent strains using reverse ...

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.
