The context-specificity of virulence evolution revealed through evolutionary invasion analysis [PDF]
Models are often employed to integrate knowledge about epidemics across scales and simulate disease dynamics. While these approaches have played a central role in studying the mechanics underlying epidemics, we lack ways to reliably predict how the relationship between virulence (the harm to hosts caused by an infection) and transmission will evolve in

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).

Comparison of the expression of cytokine genes in the bursal tissues of the chickens following challenge with infectious bursal disease viruses of varying virulence [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Cytokines are important mediators and regulators of host responses against foreign antigen, with their main function to orchestrate the functional activities of the cells of the immune system.

The effects of classic and variant infectious bursal disease viruses on lymphocyte populations in specific-pathogen-free White Leghorn chickens [PDF]
Infectious bursal disease virus (IBDV) is a pathogen that primarily infects B lymphocytes in domestic avian species. This viral infection has been associated with immunosuppression, clinical disease/mortality, and enteric malabsorption effects.

Protection of Chickens against Very Virulent Infectious Bursal Disease Virus (IBDV) and Marek's Disease Virus (MDV) with a Recombinant MDV Expressing IBDV VP2 [PDF]
To develop a herpes virus vaccine that can induce immunity for an extended period, a recombinant Marek's disease (MD) virus (MDV) CVI-988 strain expressing infectious bursal disease virus (IBDV) host-protective antigen VP2 at theUS2site (rMDV) was ...

PCFT‐Independent Cellular Uptake of Cyclic Cell‐Penetrating Peptide‐Conjugated Folic Acid
Cell‐penetrating peptide (CPP)‐conjugated folic acid mediates efficient internalization of folic acid that is independent of the presence of proton‐coupled folate transporter (PCFT) on the intestinal cells. CPP‐conjugated folic acid demonstrates superior cellular uptake at all studied pH and in the presence of PCFT inhibitors and shows enhanced ...

DETECTION OF VARIANT STRAINS OF INFECTIOUS BURSAL DISEASE VIRUS IN BROILER FLOCKS IN SAUDI ARABIA USING ANTIGEN CAPTURE ENZYME-LINKED IMMUNOSORBENT ASSAY [PDF]
Infectious bursal disease conditions were observed in 15 commercial and 9 backyard broiler flocks in central area of Saudi Arabia during 2007-2008. The age of birds ranged from 2 to 8 weeks.
