Article Synopsis
- Infectious bursal disease virus (IBDV) is a significant immunosuppressive pathogen affecting chickens, and a study analyzed samples from 16 British broiler farms to monitor its prevalence.
- Samples from 20 IBDV-positive bursae were sequenced, revealing no very virulent strains, but identifying various reassortant strains and classical virulent strains among the samples.
- The majority of the farms (81%) had genogroup A3B1 reassortant strains, with some showing mutations associated with a specific Western European clade, indicating diversity and co-existence of different viral strains within the same farms.
