Abstract:

Infectious bursal disease (IBD) is an avian viral disease that causes severe economic losses in the poultry industry worldwide. The live IBD virus (IBDV) has a potential immunosuppressive effect. Currently available IBDV vaccines have shortcomings, prompting the development of safer and more effective vaccination approaches, including the use of the recombinant turkey herpesvirus vaccine expressing the immunogenic structural VP2 protein of IBDV (recombinant HVT (rHVT)-IBD). The objectives of this study were twofold: (i) to develop in vitro assays and molecular tools to detect the VP2 protei…
