Infectious Bursal Disease Virus: Strains That Differ in Virulence Differentially Modulate the Innate Immune Response to Infection in the Chicken Bursa
1 Mar 2006
Abstract excerpt
Little is understood about the immune responses involved in the pathogenesis of infectious bursal disease virus (IBDV). Strains of IBDV differ in their virulence: F52/70 is a classical virulent strain (vIBDV), whereas UK661 is a very virulent strain (vvIBDV) that causes greater pathology and earlier mortality. The exact causes of clinical disease and death are still unclear. Pro-inflammatory cytokines such as...
