Abstract
Intermediate plus live strain infectious bursal disease virus (IBDV) vaccines are used to control IBDV endemic infections in India. In the present study, immunopathological changes induced by commercial infectious bursal disease live vaccines with different immunization regimes were compared. A total of days old 108 Cobb broiler chicks were randomly divided into five groups with 24 chicks each in groups I, II, III and 18 chicks each in group IV and V. Group I served as control I (no immunization) and group II and III chicks were immunized with a single dose of vaccines 1 and 2 on 17th day of age (DOA), respectively. The group IV and V chicks were immunized with vaccines 1 and 2, respectively with primary dose on 17th DOA followed by booster dose on 24th DOA. Both intermediate plus live vaccines produced gross and histopathological lesions in lymphoid organs (bursa of Fabricius, thymus, spleen and caecal tonsils). Increased CD4 + , CD8 + T cells in affected bursa of Fabricius was evidenced by immunohistochemistry. Further, up-regulation in relative mRNA expression of IFN-γ, IL-1β and IL-6 were observed in bursa of Fabricius of treated birds, with maximum alteration particularly on 14th day post single immunization and 7th day post booster immunization. The findings suggest that single immunization regime on the 17th day of age showed immunization equivalent to booster immunization with lesser lesions, therefore, may be practiced and promoted in the field conditions for the better economic returns and animal welfare.

Abstract
Infectious bursal disease (IBD), caused by infectious bursal disease virus (IBDV), has recently been reported in chickens vaccinated with classical or intermediate types of vaccines from various regions of India due to the emergence of novel very virulent strains of infectious bursal disease virus (vvIBDV). In the present study, suspected samples of IBD were collected from poultry flocks of districts of Gujarat and Nagpur (Maharashtra), identified using PCR and grouped as per traditional and new genogrouping pattern. Out of 54 bursa samples, 21 (38.89%) yielded the expected amplicon of 743 bp (701-1444 bp), and were found positive for IBDV. Among these 21 positive flocks, 11 (52.38%) were already vaccinated. Upon nucleotide sequencing of amplicon and its deduction into amino acids, it was found that all the sequences of present study were related to vvIBDV according to old classification pattern. Considering the new genogrouping pattern, nine and four sequences of this study fell within G3a and G3b lineage, respectively. These sequences revealed important differences at key amino acid positions with respect to classical (G1 genogroup), variant (G2 genogroup) type of IBDV and classical vaccines. Further divergence from prototypic vvIBDV strains was revealed as, D-N at 212 position (N = 9) and 279 position (N = 1). In sequences from Maharashtra (group 2 of G3a lineage), occurrence of V instead of P/T/A at 222 position was recorded as a novel and conspicuous substitution in the immunodominant peak A of VP2 hypervariable region. Additional changes at 270 (3 sequences) and 272 positions (4 sequences) could be attributed to reverse mutation or recombination with vaccine strains. In conclusion, both point mutation and genetic reassortment with intermediate type of vaccines were found to be responsible for generation of novel vvIBDV strains in this area which belonged to G3a and G3b genogroups.

Abstract
In recent years, acute severe outbreaks of infectious bursal disease (IBD) are frequently observed in commercial chicken populations of the North East Region (NER) of India, resulting in huge economic loses to poultry farmers. Field outbreaks of IBD in 30 different poultry farms in the NER were confirmed by clinicopathologic examination and reverse transcriptase PCR. A total of 10 isolates of IBD virus (IBDV) from these outbreaks were characterized by the genetic analysis of VP1 and the hypervariable region of the VP2 gene. Nucleotide sequences, deduced amino acid sequences, and phylogenetic analysis of both VP2 and VP1 genes revealed two genetically diverse strains of very virulent IBDV (vvIBDV) and one intermediate strain circulating in the NER. These isolates differ at nucleotide and amino acid levels from vvIBDV isolates of mainland India and are clustered in distinctly separate groups in the phylogenetic tree. Six of the isolates revealed a unique combination of vvIBDV amino acid signatures in the VP2 gene (A222, I256, I294), while bearing the non-vvIBDV amino acid signatures of the VP1 gene (146E, 147G, 242D), but they are clearly classified as vvIBDV in a phylogenetic analysis of both genes. Interestingly, one of the isolates showed 99% sequence homology with attenuated vaccine strains in the VP2 gene and clustered together. This study demonstrates the diversity of IBDVs in India and document for the first time the possible involvement of attenuated vaccine strains in the epidemiology of IBD in India.

Abstract
Since the first report of infectious bursal disease in Pakistan in 1987, outbreaks have been common even in vaccinated flocks. Despite appropriate administration of vaccines, concerns arise if the circulating strains are different from the ones used in the vaccine. Here, we sequenced the hypervariable region (HVR) of the VP2 gene of circulating strains of infectious bursal disease virus (IBDV) originating from outbreaks (n = 4) in broiler flocks in Pakistan. Nucleotide sequencing followed by phylogeny and deduced amino acid sequence analysis showed the circulating strains to be very virulent (vv) and identified characteristic residues at position 222 (A), 242 (I), 256 (I), 294 (I) and 299 (S). In addition, a substitution at positions 221 (Q→H) was found to be exclusive to Pakistani strains in our analysis, although a larger dataset is required to confirm this finding. Compared to vaccine strains that are commonly used in Pakistan, substitution mutations were found at key amino acid positions in VP2 that may be responsible for potential changes in neutralization epitopes and vaccine failure.

Abstract
Recurrent outbreaks of infectious bursal disease (IBD) have become a burning problem to the poultry industry worldwide. Here, we performed genetic analysis of IBD virus (IBDV) field isolates from recent outbreaks in various poultry farms in India. The sequence analysis of IBDV VP2 hypervariable region revealed amino acid pattern similar to that of very virulent (222A, 242I, 253Q, 256I, 272I, 279D, 284A, 294I, 299S and 330S) and intermediate plus virulent (222A, 242I, 253Q, 256I, 272T, 279N, 284A, 294I, 299S and 330S) type whereas analysis of VP1 revealed presence of sequence similar to that of very virulent (61I, 145T) and unique (61I, 141I, 143D, 145S) type in field isolates. Among the eight field isolates, two isolates contained very virulent type VP2 and unique type VP1, three contained intermediate plus virulent type VP2 and unique type VP1 whereas five contained both VP2 and VP1 of very virulent type. The phylogenetic analysis based on VP2 nucleotide sequence showed clustering of all eight isolates close to known very virulent strains whereas based on VP1, five isolates formed unique cluster and three isolates were placed close to very virulent strains. The isolates forming unique VP1 cluster showed highest similarity with classical virulent IBDVs suggesting their possible evolution from segment B of non-very virulent IBDVs. Interestingly, these five isolates were responsible for outbreaks in four different farms located at three different geographic locations in India. These observations indicates genetic reassortment between segment A and segment B from co-infecting IBDV strains leading to emergence of very virulent strains and their widespread prevalence in Indian poultry farms. The presence of 272I and 279D in VP2 protein of five field isolates may explain possible cause of Gumboro intermediate plus vaccine failure in prevention of the outbreaks. However, mortality caused by other three strains which are antigenically similar to VP1 of intermediate plus vaccine strains could not be explained and the possible role of their unique VP1 in enhancing the pathogenesis needs to be investigated further.

Abstract
This study was conducted to characterize nine infectious bursal disease virus (IBDV) isolates from Iran. A reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) procedure was used to amplify a 743-bp fragment of the VP2 gene hypervariable region from IBDV field isolates. Amplified VP2 fragments of the nine IBDV isolates were sequenced and compared with published sequences of IBDV strains from Iran and around the world, and their phylogenetic relationships were analyzed. Three isolates demonstrated close relation to classical attenuated strains of IBDVs, and six isolates showed sequences common in European and Asian strains of very virulent IBDVs (vvIBDVs). Four nucleotide changes--802A, 934A, 940A, and 1366A--were common in all Iranian vvIBDVs except in one isolate. Amino acid sequences of three Iranian vvIBDVs were 100% identical and resembled vvIBDV strains from European (UK661), Asian (HK46, GZ96), and Iranian origins (IR01, SDH1). Some unique amino acid substitutions after major hydrophilic peak A in Iranian vvIBDV field isolates were observed: 231S-L, 231S-P, and 233N-K. Phylogenetic analysis showed that the Iranian vvIBDVs were closely related to European and Asian vvIBDVs. Further comprehensive investigations will provide more information on the distribution, variability, and phylogenetic relationships of different IBDVs isolated in Iran and other parts of the world.

Abstract
In order to differentiate infectious bursal disease virus (IBDV) isolates/strains, a quick method of RT-PCR followed by restriction enzyme analysis of VP1 gene sequence is being reported for the first time. A 480 bp fragment, comprising one of the RNA dependent RNA polymerase motifs of VP1 gene sequence of an Indian classical virus, an attenuated vaccine strain, Georgia and two Indian field isolates, genetically similar to reported very virulent strains of IBDV, was amplified by RT-PCR. Restriction enzyme digestion of PCR products with Taq1 enzyme generated distinct profile for field isolates, different from the classical and attenuated viruses, whereas restriction profile with BstNI restriction enzyme was similar in all the viruses, irrespective of the pathotype. Therefore, the present results suggest that Taq1 digestion can be taken up for the differentiation of field isolates from the classical and vaccine strains. The sequence analysis of VPI gene of reported very virulent IBD viruses from Europe and Japan, using 'MapDraw' programme of Lasergene software, revealed similar restriction enzyme profile as in Indian field isolates.

Abstract
In vitro and in ovo virus neutralization assays were conducted to assess the role of different host systems in infectious bursal disease virus (IBDV) antigenic and immunogenic variation. Four different strains, two variant (1084 E and GLS) and two standard (Edgar and STC), were propagated separately in the bursa of Fabricius and embryos, and were compared with cell culture-adapted preparations of the homologous strains. Chicken polyclonal antisera were prepared against each IBDV and neutralizing antibody titres were determined. Normalized IBDV antibody concentrations were used in neutralization assays against homologous and heterologous IBDVs in 10-day-old specific pathogen free embryos. Both antigenic and immunogenic changes occurred in IBDVs evaluated, as evidenced by differences in the ability of normalized antibody to neutralize IBDV propagated in different host systems. Antibody induced by bursal-derived IBDV neutralized all isolates equally well, whereas antibody induced by cell culture-derived virus neutralized bursal-derived IBDV much less effectively.

Abstract
Antigenic variation of infectious bursal disease virus (IBDV) due to propagation in different host systems (bursa of Fabricius, embryos, or cell cultures) was determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (indirect and antigen capture) and western blot analysis. To conduct this study, we used 27 non-neutralizing anti-VP(2) monoclonal antibodies, a reference panel of nine neutralizing monoclonal antibodies, and 13 neutralizing anti-IBDV chicken polyclonal antibodies. Changes occurred in neutralizing, cross-reactive, conformation-dependent epitopes on the VP(2) protein of IBDV. Interestingly, non-neutralizing, cross-reactive, conformation-dependent and confirmation-independent epitopes also changed on VP(2). These epitope changes were directly associated with the method used to propagate IBDV. These results demonstrate that different host systems may play an important role in the antigenicity of IBDV.
