Monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) neutralizing only the infectious bursal disease virus strains (IBDV) belonging to serotype 1 also immunoprecipitated the heterologous major antigenic proteins of serotype 2 IBDV. Detergent-solubilization followed by radioimmunoprecipitation assays (RIPA) using the MAbs revealed structural similarities between the conformation-dependent antigenic determinants of IBDV of the two existing serotypes. The presence of non-ionic detergent Triton X-100 determined the binding of altered proteins by MAbs in RIPA.

Unlabelled: This study aims to evaluate the clinical course of critical pertussis illness to the pediatric intensive care unit in Istanbul. The study was conducted as a multicenter, retrospective study between January 1, 2023, and December 31, 2023. Cases with positive polymerase chain reaction testing for Bordetella pertussis of nasopharyngeal swab samples within the first 24 h of pediatric intensive care unit admission were recorded.

Adventitious bursitis is an inflammatory condition affecting bursae. Distinct from primary or infectious bursitis, adventitious bursitis typically develops secondary to conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis, gout, or repetitive joint overuse. The resulting inflammation can lead to pain, swelling, and restricted mobility, significantly impacting patients' quality of life.

Patient is a 64-year-old female with a history of right total hip arthroplasty (THA) who presented with progressive painful right lower extremity edema and chronic groin pain for 2 years. A CT scan from October 2021 revealed an expanding, large iliopsoas bursal fluid collection that caused compression of the right common femoral artery and vein in June 2023. Further workup excluded deep venous thrombosis or infectious causes.

Duck Tembusu virus (DTMUV), duck hepatitis virus (DHV), Muscovy duck reovirus (MDRV), and Muscovy duck parvovirus (MDPV) represent four emergent infectious diseases impacting waterfowl, which can be challenging to differentiate due to overlapping clinical signs. In response to this, we have developed a one-step multiplex real-time fluorescence quantitative reverse transcription PCR (qRT-PCR) assay, capable of simultaneously detecting DTMUV, DHV, MDRV, and MDPV. This method exhibits high specificity, avoiding cross-reactivity with other viruses such as Fowl adenoviruses (FADV), infectious bursal disease virus (IBDV), infectious bronchitis virus (IBV), infectious laryngotracheitis virus (ILTV), Haemophilus paragallinarum (Hpg), duck circovirus (DUCV), goose astrovirus (GoAstV), and mycoplasma gallisepticum (MG).

Novel antigenic variant strains of the infectious bursal disease virus (IBDV) classified into genogroup A2d have been found in the western part of Japan since 2017. Novel antigenic variant IBDVs now occur in higher frequencies in poultry houses and have been detected in the eastern part of Japan, indicating the spread of IBDVs despite the usual IBDV vaccination. We isolated a novel antigenic variant IBDV, designated as the B2977CE2C3 strain.
