| |
− | | |
− | ==Introduction==
| |
− | Infectious bursal disease is a '''highly contagious [[Viruses | viral]]''' disease of birds caused by an avibirnavirus.
| |
− | | |
− | The virus can survive in a wide range of environmental conditions, remains viable from pH 2-12 and is inactivated only in 70⁰C for 30 minutes. It is also resistant to some disinfectants.
| |
− | | |
− | IBDV can '''survive''' in poultry houses for '''122 days''' after removal of infected birds and in contaminated water or feed for 52 days.
| |
− | | |
− | Of the two known serotypes of IBDV, only '''Serotype 1''' is pathogenic, causing bursal disease in '''chicks''' by '''selectively''' infecting the cells of the '''[[Bursa of Fabricius]]'''.
| |
− | | |
− | ==Signalment==
| |
− | IBDV can infect chickens, turkeys, ducks, geese and guineafowl but only '''chickens''' show clinical signs of disease.
| |
− | | |
− | Lethal infection is usually seen in chicks '''3-6 weeks old''' due to IBDV being restricted to cells at a certain stage of development.
| |
− | | |
− | ==Distribution==
| |
− | The virus is present worldwide.
| |
− | | |
− | The main route of transmission is '''faecal-oral''' and the virus is shed for up to 2 weeks post-infection in large amounts.
| |
− | | |
− | The role of wild birds as a mechanical vector is poorly understood. IBDV can also be spread by the [[Nematodes |nematode]] parasite, ''Alphitobius diaperinus''.
| |
− | | |
− | IBD is not thought to be zoonotic.
| |
− | | |
− | ==Clinical Signs==
| |
− | One of the main effects of IBDV infection is '''mortality'''. This can be in chicks at 3-6 weeks old or later on as a result of severe '''immunosuppression''' allowing other disease to proliferate, in particular, [[Escherichia coli |''E. coli'']] and gangrenous dermatitis.
| |
− | | |
− | The virulence varies massively and so can disease severity. Initial outbreaks are usually the most severe and recurrent disease is milder with lower mortality.
| |
− | | |
− | '''[[Diarrhoea]]''', recumbency, '''dehydration''', neurological signs and ruffling of the feathers form a typical presentation of IBDV.
| |
− | | |
− | ==Diagnosis==
| |
− | Acute disease is usually recognised in a flock by '''rapid onset, high morbidity''' ([[Diarrhoea |diarrhoea]]) with a spike in mortality and '''rapid recovery'''. Diagnosis is confirmed by post-mortem or laboratory testing.
| |
− | | |
− | ===Post-mortem===
| |
− | On '''post-mortem examination''', carcasses are '''dehydrated''', often with '''darkened pectoral muscles'''. Many '''petechiae''' may be present in the thigh and pectoral muscle masses.
| |
− | Mucus may also be present within the [[Avian Intestines - Anatomy & Physiology|intestines]]. In advanced disease, renal changes may be evident due to prolonged dehydration.
| |
− | Grey foci may also be present on an enlarged spleen.
| |
− | | |
− | The [[Bursa of Fabricius|'''bursa of fabricius''']] will usually initially be '''enlarged, oedematous and haemorrhagic.''' Its colour turns from white to cream and a '''yellow transudate''' covers its serosa early in infection.
| |
− | | |
− | From 7-8 days following infection, the bursa '''atrophies''' and becomes approximately '''1/3''' of its original weight.
| |
− | | |
− | ===Laboratory Tests===
| |
− | IBDV antigen can be detected in cloacal bursa or splenic samples by '''Agar Gel Precipitation''' or '''[[Immunofluorescence]]'''. RT-PCR is commonly used to detect IBDV.
| |
− | | |
− | '''Antibody [[ELISA testing|ELISA]]''' can be used for serological diagnosis within a flock. A mimimum of 30 samples is required.
| |
− | | |
− | ==Treatment==
| |
− | '''No treatment''' is available and recovery is usually rapid in an infected flock.
| |
− | | |
− | ==Control==
| |
− | '''Hygienic''' measures with appropriate disinfectants are imperative.
| |
− | | |
− | '''Vaccination''' is also usually required. Both live and inactivated forms are available. Timing is difficult due to interference of maternally-derived antibody, but oil adjuvanted vaccines can extend maternal immunity to 5 weeks. Vaccination can cause immunosuppression and a degree of bursal damage.
