Molecular epidemiology of infectious bursal disease virus in Zambia [PDF]
Nucleotide sequences of the VP2 hypervariable region (VP2-HVR) of 10 infectious bursal disease viruses detected in indigenous and exotic chickens in Zambia from 2004 to 2005 were determined. Phylogenetic analysis showed that the viruses diverged into two

Western blot detection of infectious bursal disease virus infection [PDF]
In order to evaluate the use of a Western blot methodology for the diagnosis of infectious bursal disease virus (IBDV) infection, chickens were experimentally infected with IBDV strains and tested for the presence of viral antigens and antibodies by a ...

Infectivity of Infectious Bursal Disease Virus for Embryonating Eggs
Abstract THE disease that Cosgrove (1962) reported as avian nephrosis has since been referred to as infectious bursal disease. Early attempts to propagate the infectious bursal disease virus (IBDV) by serial passage in embryonating eggs frequently resulted in failure to maintain the virus. Landgraf et al. (1967) reported a typical experience that has

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

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.

Dogs as potential carriers of infectious bursal disease virus [PDF]
In this study, the possibility that dogs could eventually be carriers of infectious bursal disease virus (IBDV) after having eaten (voluntarily or accidentally) IBDV-infected chicks has been evaluated. A single Beagle dog was fed chicks infected by a very virulent IBDV strain (vvIBDV).

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 ...

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 ...

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.
