Experimental infection of turkeys with infectious bursal disease virus and the effect on the immunocompetence of infected turkeys. 1984

C H Chui, and J Thorsen

Turkeys of various ages were infected with strains of infectious bursal disease virus (IBDV). Pathological signs of infection were detected only in turkeys 1 day old when infected. No differences in antibody responses to IBDV or virus recovery were observed between turkeys of various ages at the time of infection. Cellular and humoral immune responses were suppressed following infection of day-old turkeys. The effects varied with virus strain.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D007111	Immunity, Cellular	Manifestations of the immune response which are mediated by antigen-sensitized T-lymphocytes via lymphokines or direct cytotoxicity. This takes place in the absence of circulating antibody or where antibody plays a subordinate role.

D007121	Immunocompetence	The ability of lymphoid cells to mount a humoral or cellular immune response when challenged by antigen.	Competence, Immunologic,Immunologic Competence,Immunological Competence,Competence, Immunological
D007243	Infectious bursal disease virus	A species of AVIBIRNAVIRUS causing severe inflammation of the bursa of Fabricius in chickens and other fowl. Transmission is thought to be through contaminated feed or water. Vaccines have been used with varying degrees of success.

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.

D002060	Bursa of Fabricius	An epithelial outgrowth of the cloaca in birds similar to the thymus in mammals. It atrophies within 6 months after birth and remains as a fibrous remnant in adult birds. It is composed of lymphoid tissue and prior to involution, is the site of B-lymphocyte maturation.	Fabricius Bursa
D004198	Disease Susceptibility	A constitution or condition of the body which makes the tissues react in special ways to certain extrinsic stimuli and thus tends to make the individual more than usually susceptible to certain diseases.

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.
