Genetic characterization of South American infectious bursal disease virus reveals the existence of a distinct worldwide-spread genetic lineage
9 Mar 2015
Abstract excerpt
Infectious bursal disease virus (IBDV) is one of the most concerning health problems for world poultry production. IBDVs comprise four well-defined evolutionary lineages known as classic (c), classic attenuated (ca), variant (va) and very virulent (vv) strains. Here, we characterized IBDVs from South America by the genetic analysis of both segments of the viral genome. Viruses belonging to c, ca and vv strains...
