The immunodepressive effect of infectious bursal agent on vaccination against Newcastle disease. 1977

G Meulemans, and P Halen, and H Vindevogel, and M Gouffaux

Immunodepression due to an infectious bursal agent (IBA) infection depends on the age of the birds, the time of Newcastle disease (ND) vaccination and the IBA strain used. The immunodepressive effect of IBA on ND vaccination can be avoided by vaccinating the chicks against ND at day old or by using attenuated strains of IBA in all commercial vaccines.

D007165	Immunosuppression Therapy	Deliberate prevention or diminution of the host's immune response. It may be nonspecific as in the administration of immunosuppressive agents (drugs or radiation) or by lymphocyte depletion or may be specific as in desensitization or the simultaneous administration of antigen and immunosuppressive drugs.

D009521	Newcastle Disease	An acute febrile, contagious, viral disease of birds caused by an AVULAVIRUS called NEWCASTLE DISEASE VIRUS. It is characterized by respiratory and nervous symptoms in fowl and is transmissible to man causing a severe, but transient conjunctivitis.	Disease, Newcastle
D009522	Newcastle disease virus	The most well known avian paramyxovirus in the genus AVULAVIRUS and the cause of a highly infectious pneumoencephalitis in fowl. It is also reported to cause CONJUNCTIVITIS in humans. Transmission is by droplet inhalation or ingestion of contaminated water or food.	Avian Paramyxovirus 1,Paramyxovirus 1, Avian
D011201	Poultry Diseases	Diseases of birds which are raised as a source of meat or eggs for human consumption and are usually found in barnyards, hatcheries, etc. The concept is differentiated from BIRD DISEASES which is for diseases of birds not considered poultry and usually found in zoos, parks, and the wild.

D000818	Animals	Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.
