Infectious bursal disease virus (IBDV), which infects young chickens, is one of the most important pathogens that harm the poultry industry. Evaluation of the immune status of birds before and after vaccination is of great importance for controlling the disease caused by this virus. Therefore, the development of low-cost and easy-to-manufacture test systems for IBDV antibody detection remains an urgent issue. In this study, three expression systems (bacteria, yeast, and human cells) were used to produce recombinant VP3 protein of IBDV. VP3 is a group-specific antigen and hence may be a good candidate for use in diagnostic tests. Comparison of the antigenic properties of the obtained polypeptides showed that the titres of antibodies raised in chickens against bacteria- or human-cell-derived recombinant VP3 were high, whereas the antibody level against yeast-derived recombinant VP3 was low. The results of an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) of sera from IBDV-infected chickens demonstrated that the recombinant VP3 produced in E. coli would be the best choice for use in test systems.

Article Synopsis
- Infectious bursal disease (IBD), caused by IBDV, significantly threatens the poultry industry due to its ability to weaken the immune system and the rise of severe virus strains.
- Traditional vaccines have shortcomings, prompting research into a new vaccine that uses a recombinant Newcastle disease virus (NDV) to express important IBDV proteins (VP2 and VP3) for better immune response.
- The study found that the new rNDV-VP2-VP3 vaccine generated stronger antibody responses and offered better protection against IBDV compared to previous vaccine methods, suggesting it could effectively control IBD in poultry.
Physicochemical and biological impacts of light stress on adeno-associated virus serotype 6.

Article Synopsis
- Recombinant adeno-associated virus (rAAV) is being studied as a gene therapy vector, but its response to light exposure has not been fully understood.
- Research on rAAV6 with EGFP showed that light stress resulted in a 20% loss of virus particles and a 90% reduction in biological activity, primarily due to DNA degradation.
- Analysis revealed that light exposure causes specific types of protein and DNA damage, indicating the importance of careful handling and storage of rAAV to preserve its therapeutic effectiveness.

Coxsackievirus A2 (CVA2), a member of enterovirus A species (EV-A), is associated with diverse human diseases and occasionally causes acute gastroenteritis (AGE). In Thailand, CVA2 emerged as the predominant genotype in 2019. The increasing incidence of CVA2, coupled with the limited availability of full-length genomes, highlights the need for more complete genome sequence analysis to facilitate molecular epidemiology study.

Deformed wing virus (DWV) is known as one of the main viruses that affect honeybees' health all around the world. The virus has two widespread genotypes, DWV-A and DWV-B (VDV-1), transmitted mainly by mites. In this study, we collected honeycombs with covered broods from 73 apiaries in eight Lithuanian regions and initially investigated the prevalence of mites.
