Both Genome Segments Contribute to the Pathogenicity of Very Virulent Infectious Bursal Disease Virus
27 Dec 2012
Abstract excerpt
Infectious bursal disease virus (IBDV) causes an economically significant disease of chickens worldwide. Very virulent IBDV (vvIBDV) strains have emerged and induce as much as 60% mortality. The molecular basis for vvIBDV pathogenicity is not understood, and the relative contributions of the two genome segments, A and B, to this phenomenon are not known. Isolate 94432 has been shown previously to be genetically...
