Single and combined infections of specific-pathogen-free chickens with infectious bursal disease virus and an intestinal isolate of reovirus

The susceptibility of 1-day-old and 7-day-old specific-pathogen-free chickens to infection with a virulent strain of infectious bursal disease virus (IBDV) or an intestinal isolate of avian reovirus, or a combination of the two, was investigated. Chickens infected with IBDV and reovirus had more severe pathological lesions than chickens infected with either virus alone, and prior infection with IBDV enhanced the pathogenicity of enteric reovirus. Virus recovery was attempted from bursa, spleen, thymus, liver, intestine, pancreas, cecal tonsils, heart, and tarso-metatarsal tendons. Viruses were recovered from all tissues sampled for either IBDV or reovirus isolation, and indications were that infection with IBDV before infection with reovirus led to longer persistence of reovirus in some tissues. Antibodies to IBDV or reovirus were measured by the virus neutralization test and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Chickens infected with IBDV had lower (P less than 0.05) antibody responses to reovirus than chickens infected with reovirus alone.     

Pathogenicity and molecular analysis of an infectious bursal disease virus isolated from Malaysian village chickens

The characteristics of the pathogenic infectious bursal disease virus (IBDV) that infected avian species other than commercial chickens were largely unknown. In this study, by using in vivo and molecular methods, we had characterized an IBDV isolate (named 94268) isolated from an infectious bursal disease (IBD) outbreak in Malaysian village chickens--the adulterated descendant of the Southeast Asian jungle fowl (Gallus bankiva) that were commonly reared in the backyard. The 94268 isolate was grouped as the very virulent IBDV (vvIBDV) strain because it caused severe lesions and a high mortality rate in village chickens (>88%) and experimentally infected specific-pathogen-free chickens (>66%). In addition, it possessed all of the vvIBDV molecular markers in its VP2 gene. Phylogenetic analysis using distance, maximum parsimony, and maximum likelihood methods revealed that 94268 was monophyletic with other vvIBDV isolates and closely related to the Malaysian vvIBDV isolates. Given that the VP2 gene of 94268 isolate was almost identical and evolutionarily closely related to other field IBDV isolates that affected the commercial chickens, we therefore concluded that IBD infections had spread across the farm boundary. IBD infection in the village chicken may represent an important part of the IBD epidemiology because these birds could harbor the vvIBDV strain and should not be overlooked in the control and prevention of the disease.     

The use of biotin-labeled cDNA probes for the detection of infectious bursal disease viruses

A cDNA library was prepared from the double-stranded RNA genome of the infectious bursal disease virus (IBDV) strain ST-C. The cDNA molecules were annealed into the plasmid pUC9 and used to transform Escherichia coli strain JM107. A cDNA clone that contained IBDV-specific nucleotide sequences was selected and designated STC-1. Radiolabeled probes were prepared from STC-1 and hybridized to genome segment A of ST-C in a northern blot hybridization assay. The STC-1 cDNA was 448 base pairs in length, and its nucleotide sequence indicated that it is located near the VP-2/VP-4 junction in IBDV genome segment A. Biotin-labeled probes were prepared from STC-1 and used in a dot-blot hybridization assay to detect IBDV. Under relatively low stringency conditions of hybridization, the biotinylated probes detected four subtypes of IBDV serotype 1 and a serotype 2 IBDV isolate.     

The effect of infectious bursal disease virus on the immune system of turkeys

In 1979 it was reported that an infectious bursal disease virus (IBDV) isolated from a case of respiratory disease of turkeys differed antigenically from the chicken isolates of this virus. We injected turkey poults with the turkey-originating TY89 and chicken-originating BD/6 isolates of IBDV and studied their effects on antibody production to the virus, serum immunoglobulin G (IgG), antibody response to sheep erythrocytes, in vitro response of peripheral blood lymphocytes to mitogens, and microscopic structure of the bursa of Fabricius. The chicken isolate BD/6 caused a significant decrease in the response to sheep erythrocytes, lower serum IgG, transient decrease in the response of lymphocytes to PHA, and mild microscopic lesions in the bursa of Fabricius. The turkey isolate TY89, however, caused no obvious damage to the immune system of the infected poults. We suggest that a partial and transient functional disorder of the immune system of poults can occur after infection with IBDV originating from chickens, even if the poults exhibited no clinical signs.

Tissue-print hybridization using a non-radioactive probe for the detection of infectious bursal disease virus.

Tissue-print hybridization was evaluated as a simplified means for detection of infectious bursal disease virus (IBDV) in the bursa of Fabricius from infected chickens. The assay employed a biotin-labeled synthetic oligonucleotide as a probe. The bound probe was detected using a color assay consisting of streptavidin conjugated to alkaline phosphatase. Bursae were imprinted onto nitrocellulose and then hybridized with the biotinylated probe. Bursal prints from IBDV-infected chickens were readily distinguished from control prints by color development and differences in signal intensity.     

Organ culture of chicken bursa as a model to study the pathogenicity of infectious bursal disease virus isolates.

In vitro study with chicken bursal organ culture was attempted to assess the pathogenicity of locally isolated infectious bursal disease virus (IBDV) initially isolated from the bursa of naturally infected birds. In bursal organ culture, lymphoblastic transformation was noticed as early as 24 hr postinoculation and reached maximum at 72 hr postinoculation. The other microscopic changes were increased number of macrophages and formation of plasma cells. The IBDV antigen was detected 24 hr onward by coagglutination test with antibody coated Staphylococcus aureus strain Cowan I. On the basis of lesion score, the three isolates of IBDV (A, B, and C) were graded as virulent (B isolate) and moderately virulent (A and C isolates). A similar pattern of pathogenicity was also observed in the in vivo pathogenicity studies in chicken based on bursa: body weight ratio and histopathologic lesion score. The bursal organ culture thus provides a useful experimental model to differentiate the IBDV isolates on the basis of their virulence.

Isolation of infectious bursal disease virus from turkeys with arthritic and respiratory symptoms in commercial farms in Quebec.

Infectious bursal disease viruses (IBDVs) were isolated from turkeys showing symptoms of arthritis and respiratory disease in commercial poultry farms in the province of Quebec, Canada. Synovial fluids collected from hock joints of arthritic birds and peripheral blood leukocytes obtained from the birds with respiratory problems were used for virus isolation in embryonated chicken eggs, and Vero and BGM-70 cell cultures. The infected cells were evaluated for the presence of IBDV by indirect immunofluorescence assay using monoclonal antibodies. The viruses were identified by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of viral genome and by electron microscopy. Although one of these turkey isolates tested was neutralized by serotype 1-specific commercial chicken antisera, preliminary results indicated that there are antigenic differences between the Quebec isolate, IBDV QT-1, and the existing strains of IBDV belonging to serotype 1.     

INTERACTION BETWEEN INFECTIOUS BURSAL DISEASE VIRUS AND NEWCASTLE DISEASE VIRUS IN CHICKENS

The Australian strain of infectious bursal disease virus (IBDV), 002/73, affected the response of chickens to Newcastle disease virus (NDV). The titre of serum antibodies to NDV in chickens infected with IBDV was significantly lower than that of birds infected with NDV alone. It also appeared that IBDV affected NDV excretion from chickens as NDV was more frequently isolated from chickens infected with IBDV, IBDV infection did not alter the pathogenicity of NDV in chickens. This Australian strain of IBDV therefore appeared to be immunodepressive in one-day-old chickens.     

Infectious bursal disease virus variant from commercial Leghorn pullets

An infectious bursal disease virus (IBDV) was isolated from 39-to-43-day-old commercial leghorn pullets suspected of having infectious bursal disease (IBD). These chickens had been vaccinated with a commercial live IBDV vaccine at 28 and 35 days of age. An isolate designated IN was recovered using specific-pathogen-free (SPF) chickens and the BGM-70 established cell line. Experimental studies using SPF chickens vaccinated with either inactivated vaccines made from the vaccine strain used in the problem flock or a standard-type vaccine indicated no protection against the IN isolate. However, two variants and another standard-type vaccine induced protection against the IN isolate. Cross-neutralization tests indicated that the IN isolate differed antigenically from commercial vaccine strains and was related to the variant IBDV strains recently isolated from broilers. To our knowledge, this is the first report of a variant IBDV recovered from commercial layer chickens in the United States.
