effect of infectious bursal disease virus on protection against marek's disease by turkey herpesvirus vaccine.chickens inoculated at hatch with pathogenic infectious bursal disease virus (ibdv) and the turkey herpesvirus (hvt) vaccine were poorly protected against challenge at 1 week with virulent marek's disease virus (mdv). however, if vaccination with hvt preceded ibdv inoculation such as by embryonal vaccination with hvt and exposure to ibdv at hatch, or by vaccination at hatch and ibdv exposure 5 days or longer postvaccination, then the vaccinal efficacy of hvt was not influenced. further, the inhi ...19846091603
serologic evidence of infectious bursal disease virus serotype ii infection in minnesota turkeys.serum samples from seven randomly selected minnesota turkey flocks were tested for antibodies to infectious bursal disease virus serotype i (lukert strain, isolated from chickens, and north carolina strain, isolated from turkeys) using a virus-neutralization (vn) test. all flocks were found to have low antibody titers to both lukert and north carolina strains. five out of the seven flocks had high vn titers to the missouri strain, a serotype ii virus isolated from turkeys.19846091608
capsid symmetry of viruses of the proposed birnavirus group.the capsid architecture of three members of the tentatively formed group of bisegmented ds rna containing animal viruses (birnavirus group) was studied in comparison with the fine structure of reovirus type 1 using high resolution negative staining and shadowing techniques followed by rotational enhancement analysis. ipnv of the trout, ibdv of the chicken, and eel virus (berlin) are single-shelled particles with a capsid diameter of 61-65 nm and thus clearly distinguishable from the double-shell ...19853994515
the use in practice of inactivated oil emulsion vaccine against infectious bursal disease in broiler breeders and its influence on the progeny: a comparative field trial.field trials were conducted to establish the effect of the use of an inactivated oil emulsion vaccine against infectious bursal disease (ibd oev) in broiler breeder hens, and its effects on their progeny. the performance of 18 broiler flocks, which were the progeny of the ibd oev vaccinated breeder hens, but which were not vaccinated with a live vaccine against ibd, was equal to that of broiler flocks which were vaccinated with a live ibd vaccine and originated from parent stock that had been va ...19852990089
antibody to the 32k structural protein of infectious bursal disease virus neutralizes viral infectivity in vitro and confers protection on young chickens.chicken sera containing igg antibodies specific for the 32 000 (32k) mol. wt. structural polypeptide of infectious bursal disease (ibd) virus, as assessed by western blotting, neutralized the in vitro infectivity of tissue culture-adapted ibd virus. when injected into young chickens, the serum passively protected them from challenge with pathogenic ibd virus. chickens immunized with the 32k structural polypeptide of ibd virus, prepared by electroelution from sds-page gels, produced antibody dete ...19852999312
embryo vaccination with infectious bursal disease virus alone or in combination with marek's disease vaccine.studies with specific-pathogen-free chickens revealed that chicks hatching from eggs inoculated at the 18th day of embryonation with infectious bursal disease (ibd) vaccine viruses of low virulence (isolates tc-ibdv and bvm-ibdv) developed antibody against ibd virus (ibdv) and resisted challenge with virulent ibdv at 3 weeks of age or older. embryo vaccination did not adversely affect hatchability of chicks or survival of hatched chicks. chicks embryonally vaccinated with tc-ibdv had transient h ...19853008698
[electron microscopic research on an experimental infection in chicks caused by the infectious bursal virus].a total of 18 birds at the age of 25 days were infected intraocularly with the pathogenic strain 52/70 of the infectious bursitis virus. the bursa of fabricius and the thymus were sampled for electron-microscopic investigations. the ultrastructural changes in the infected cells consisted in pycnosis of the lymphocyte and macrophage nuclei, vacuolization of the cytoplasm, and the production of lipid droplets as well as of inclusion bodies of varying density, myelin figures, multivericular bodies, ...19853002003
immunogenicity and antigenicity of infectious bursal disease virus serotypes i and ii in chickens.chickens were inoculated with infectious bursal disease virus serotype i or serotype ii to determine if their immune system can distinguish between the two serotypes. chickens had neutralizing antibodies to only serotype i viruses following exposure to serotype i viruses, and chickens had antibodies to only serotype ii viruses following exposure to serotype ii viruses. no cross-reactions were observed between antisera prepared to each of these two serotypes using a cross-virus-neutralization ass ...19853008699
counter immunoelectroosmophoresis in the diagnosis of infectious bursal disease of poultry.infectious bursal disease virus antigen was detected in the bursa of fabricius of infected birds by the use of the counter immunoelectroosmophoresis technique. eight suspected outbreaks were confirmed in this way and 82 out of 89 bursal samples submitted for laboratory confirmation were positive. the test was also suitable for the detection of antibody to infectious bursal disease virus in sera of infected birds. precipitin lines were visible within 30 min as compared with 18 to 24 h with the ou ...19853003985
vaccination against marek's disease and infectious bursal disease iii. growth rate of both turkey herpesvirus and infectious bursal disease virus in coinfected cell cultures.titers of the turkey herpesvirus (hvt) and infectious bursal disease virus (ibdv) in coinfected cell cultures, used to produce a live bivalent hvt/ibdv vaccine, were determined daily. based on the daily titers, cells harvested either 2 or 3 days after inoculating the second virus (ibdv) into hvt infected cell cultures yielded the maximum titers for both viruses. harvesting coinfected cell cultures on either day provided the most suitable source of the live hvt/ibdv vaccine against marek's diseas ...19852987896
detection of antibodies against infectious bursal disease virus: a comparison of three serological methods.four different oil emulsion infectious bursal disease virus (ibdv) vaccines were inoculated into four-week-old specific pathogen-free chickens. at weekly intervals for five weeks, sera were obtained from the vaccinated birds and from uninoculated control birds and examined for antibodies against ibdv by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (elisa), the quantitative agar gel precipitin (qagp) test and the virus neutralisation (vn) test. there was a highly significant correlation between the mean res ...19852988091

[associated vaccination of poultry against infectious bronchitis, newcastle disease and infectious bursitis].the effectiveness of immunity was studied following a mixed vaccination with live vaccines against infectious bronchitis (strains h120 and h52), newcastle disease (strain la sota), and infectious bursitis (strain th75vn82). the three vaccines were applied simultaneously via the drinking water, through the spray method, and nasally. experiments were carried out with a total of 31,466 birds: broilers, growing layers, broiler parents--all without preliminary treatment with biopreparations. immunity ...19853002010
effect of avian reoviruses on lymphoid organ weights and antibody response in chickens.several avian reoviruses were screened to determine their effects on the immune system by inoculating them subcutaneously (sq) into day-old chicks. for comparison, infectious bursal disease virus (ibdv) was similarly evaluated. the response of the immune system was measured functionally by the hemagglutination-inhibition (hi) response to newcastle disease virus (ndv) and structurally by changes in the organ-to-body-weight ratios of the bursa of fabricius, thymus, and spleen. when inoculated sq, ...19852992443
the characterization and molecular cloning of the double-stranded rna genome of an australian strain of infectious bursal disease virus.the genome of infectious bursal disease virus (ibdv) strain 002-73 was found to consist of two segments of double-stranded (ds) rna which were 3400 bp (mw 2.06 x 10(6)) and 2900 bp (mw 1.76 x 10(6)) long, respectively. the ds ibdv rna could be translated, in vitro, only after extensive denaturation. the small rna segment was found to code for a single polypeptide of mw 90k, while the large rna segment coded for three major polypeptides of mw 52k, 32k, and 28k, and two minor polypeptides of mw 41 ...19852998012
increased virulence of an infectious bursal disease live virus vaccine after passage in chicks.a live infectious bursal disease virus vaccine increased in virulence when passaged six times in susceptible birds, as judged by damage to the bursa of fabricius. it is suggested that the increase in virulence of this vaccine was due to the selection of a virulent subpopulation which had been present in the vaccine since its original isolation from the field and which had not been eliminated during its attenuation by passage in cell culture. the vaccine was then plaque purified and a virus strai ...19852998114
characterization by western blotting of the immunogens of infectious bursal disease virus.the australian isolate of infectious bursal disease (ibd) virus (002/73) was purified from infected bursae by rate-zonal and density-equilibrium centrifugation and characterized by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. two major polypeptides having approximate mol. wt. of 32 000 (32k) and 37k and three other polypeptides of approximate mol. wt. 29k, 41.5k and 91.5k were present in all preparations of virus having a buoyant density of 1.33 g/ml. western blotting of the polypeptides of ibd virus sho ...19852410555
simultaneous application of live turkey herpesvirus and infectious bursal disease vaccines against marek's disease and infectious bursal disease.the efficacy of cell-associated (ca) and cell-free (cf) infectious bursal disease (ibd) vaccines in maternal antibody (mab)-bearing broiler chickens was compared. compatibility and potency of a mixed vaccine combining live ca turkey herpesvirus (hvt) and ca ibd vaccine viruses were also tested against gross lesions induced by marek's disease (md) or ibd in specific-pathogen-free chickens. both ca and cf ibd vaccines provided significant protection against gross bursal lesions of ibd in the prese ...19852983300
effects of chemically or virus-induced immunodepression on response of chickens to avian leukosis virus.the effects of chemically or virus-induced immunodepression on the infection profile (development of viremia and antibody) and shedding of avian leukosis virus (alv) were studied in progeny chickens of experimental or commercial breeder flocks. chickens were infected with alv subgroup a by contact at hatching and by oral inoculation at 4-5 weeks of age. in the first experiment, chickens were inoculated with a virulent strain of infectious bursal disease virus (ibdv) at 1 day or 6 weeks of age. i ...19852985037
antibody responses and virus reisolation in turkeys experimentally infected with an infectious bursal disease isolate.following the infection of turkey poults with a field isolate of infectious bursal disease virus, antibody levels were examined and reisolation of the virus was attempted. after inoculation at 36 days of age, peak titres in both the inoculated and a contact-exposed group were obtained after 13 days. the titres fell slightly during the next week and then remained level until the experiment was terminated at 91 days of age. virus was reisolated from faeces from day 3 until day 8 after inoculation ...19852986338
