The VP2 full gene of Korean infectious bursal disease virus(IBDV) strain, SH/92, three attenuated vaccine strains, Bur706, Bursine-2 and CEV/AC strains, were amplified by reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction and sequenced and compared with published VP2 gene sequences of IBDVs. The VP2 nucleotide sequence similarity between SH/92 and three vaccine stains was 95.6~96.5% whereas the nucleic acid similarity among three vaccine strains was 97.5~98.5%. The amino acid sequence similarity of VP2 of SH/92 compared with three vaccine strains was between 94.4 and 97.6% while the amino acid similarity among three vaccine strains was between 97.4 and 98.4%. The amino acid similarity between SH/92 and classical virulent strain, 52/70 and STC strain was 96.4 and 96.5%, respectively. The serine-rich heptapeptide was conserved in CEVAC and Bursine-2 as well as SH/92 but not in Bur706. The phylogenetic tree developed from amino acid sequences showed that SH/92 was categorized with vv IBDVs(HK46, OKYM, KKI, UPM94/273, SH95) in one branch while three vaccine strains were catagorized with STC strain in the other branch.

감부로병(Gumboro Disease)으로 알려진 이병은 최근에 전염성훼브리샤스낭병 바이러스(Infectious Bursal of Fabricius Disease Virus:IBDV)에 의해서 일어난다는 것이 밝혀졌다. 이 전염병은 주로 3$\~$6주령의 닭에만이 발생하며 닭이 이에 감염되면 침울해지고 몸의 균형을 잡지 못하며 떨며 항문주위의 틀이 더렵혀지는 등의 증세를 나타낸다. 우리나라에서는 아직 정식 발생보고가 없으나, 미국, 구라파 일본등지에서는 많은 발생보고가 있다. 감염내과된 닭은 5$\~$7일만에 회복되며 회복된 닭은 후유증(後遺症)이 없다. 임상소견으로는 훼브리샤스낭(囊)이 젤라친과 같은 막과 크림이나 치즈같은 물질을 같으며 비대(肥大)해지고 야외에서 발생한 닭의 경우 근육의 출혈과 가끔 신장(腎臟)이 창백, 또는 종장등의 변화가 일어난다. 따라서 본란을 통해서 이 병에 대한 증상과 바이러스의 분리 병리조직학적인 진단방법등에 대한 정보를 제공하여 우리 나라의 발생여부를 확인하는데 참고자료에 공여코저한다.

IBD's antibody level and morphological change of immune organ was examined in chicken. The results were as follows ; 1. Seventy percent at 42 day and 40% at 45 day of age chickens were reacted positively by the agar gel immunodiffusion test and 42 day and 45 day of age chickens indicated 1859, 1425 by the ELISA test, respectively. 2. In 2 and 5 day young broiler chickens, the level of maternal antibody was not proper. B/B ratio showed low level, but S/B ratio and BS were normal. 3. In layer, 100% of 8 and 86 day of age chicken and 70% at 40 day of age chicken had antibody aganist IBDV. The level of antibody was high as 2293 and 3336 in 8 and 86 day of age chicken, while was low as 1186 in 40 day of age chicken. B/B ratio showed low level and S/B ratio high level, but BS was normal.

매추리 유래 가금 adenovirus인 QBV로 부터 CsCl을 사용한 균질밀도분배원심분리법으로 AAAV의 분리를 시도하였으며, 분리된 바이러스의 순수성을 전자현미경 및 혈청학적인 방법을 통하여 증명하였으며 순수 분리된 AAAV를 항원으로 사용한 혈청반응을 개발하였다. 즉, CsCl의 밀도 1.38 및 $1.42gm/cm^3$의 분획들은 순수한 AAAV이었으며 $1.42gm/cm^3$의 분획은 토끼에서 양성혈청제조용 면역원으로 1.38 및 $1.42gm/cm^3$의 분획은 혈청반응용 표준항원으로 사용하였다. AAAV 표준항원 및 가토 양성혈청계는 MDV, IBDV, ITV 및 "helper"인 가금 adenovirus와의 교차반응이 없었으며 혈청학적인 특이성이 인정되었다. 또한 상기 혈청학적 반응을 이용하여 AAAV의 동정은 물론 AAAV에 대한 닭의 항체검출을 가능하게 하였다.

This is a case report on the occurrence of inclusion body hepatitis (IBH) and infectious bursal disease (IBD) among the broilers in a local farm located in Wanju, Jeollabukdo. Mostly IBH could be caused by adenovirus if the bird's immune system was first weakened by exposure to immunosupressive agents such as infectious bursal disease virus (IBDV) and chicken anemia virus (CIAV). However IBH primary occurred before IBD in this case. And recent work has demonstrated that virulent adenovirus alone can produce the disease.

This study was carried out to evaluate the supplementation effect of dietary natural plant extracts (NP: $Coxynil^{(R)}$, $Growell^{(R)}$ and $Respowell^{(R)}$) on broiler chickens. Forty thousand male broilers with 7 days adaptation after hatching were fed experiment diets for 34 days. The supplementation effects of NP on growth performance, blood parameters and biopsy were examined with twenty thousand broilers as the treatment group. Twenty thousand broilers for the control group (CON) were fed the diet with salinomycin-6, clopidol-25, enramycin-1, and BMD-2.5. In the diet of the treatment group, the antibiotics were replaced with 0.03%, 0.035% and 0.03% of $Coxynil^{(R)}$, $Growell^{(R)}$ and $Respowell^{(R)}$, respectively. The weight gain of the treatment group was increased but the feed intake was decreased, indicating that feed efficiency was increased compared to the CON. The mortality of the NP group was also lower compared to the CON group (1,008 birds to 1,693 birds), showing positive dietary effects from natural plant extracts. In the activity of infectious bursal disease virus (IBDV) and new cattle disease virus (NDV) antibodies, the NP showed lower antibody titer levels for both of IBDV and NDV compared to the CON. The levels of total cholesterol, HDL-cholesterol, globulin, and IgG in blood did not show significant differences between the groups. In the microscopic tissue analysis, no significant differences were detected. These results may suggest that a complex of three natural plant extracts can be used as alternative antibiotics in broilers.

Male broiler chicks were fed graded levels of organic zinc (zinc-methionine) supplementation to investigate the effects of partial or complete substitution of the organic zinc source for inorganic ones on the development of lymphoid organs and immunological responses. A total of 450 day-old male broilers were distributed into groups of 10 chicks and randomly assigned to nine experimental diets during a 42-day feeding trial. Dietary treatments consisted of two basal diets supplemented with 40 mg/kg added zinc as feed-grade Zn sulfate or Zn oxide in which, Zn was replaced with that provided from zinc-methionine (ZnMet) complex at the levels of 25, 50, 75 or 100%. Two randomly-selected birds from each pen replicate were bled and then slaughtered by cervical cutting on the final day of the trial to measure leukocyte subpopulations and relative weights of lymphoid organs. Among lymphoid organs, only thymus weight was affected (p<0.05) by dietary treatments. The sulfate-supplemented birds were heavier (p<0.01) in relative weight of thymus than oxide-supplemented birds. The 10 days of age-assessed cutaneous hypersensivity reaction was stronger in chicks fed ZnMet-containing diets. Dietary ZnMet supplementation caused (p<0.05) an increase in proportion of lymphocytes and consequently a decrease in heterophil to lymphocyte ratio. Diet fortification by zinc-methionine complex increased (p<0.01) Newcastle antibody titer at 19 days of age. Also, a similar response was observed in antibody titers at 6 and 12 d after infectious bronchitis vaccine administration. There was no significant effect of replacement of dietary zinc on antibody titer against infectious bursal disease virus (IBDV) at the 6th d post-vaccine inoculation; however, at d 12 after vaccination, ZnMet-fortified diets improved antibody titer against IBDV. Although dietary inclusion of ZnMet had no marked effect on primary antibody titer against sheep erythrocytes, effective responses were observed during secondary reaction from the viewpoint of both total antibody and immunoglobulin Y (IgY) titers. From the present findings, it can be concluded that dietary supplementation with organic zinc improves both cellular and humoral immune responses. It is necessary to replace 75% of supplemental inorganic zinc with organic ZnMet complex to achieve the optimum immunological responses in broiler chicks.

The strategy for infectious bursal disease (IBD) control and its success rate under field conditions depends on hygiene management, IBD field pressure, level, and variation in maternally derived IBD antibodies. This study investigated the level of IBD-specific antibody by ELISA and the prevalence of IBD virus by PCR in broilers, white-semi broilers, and Korean native chickens raised in Jeongeup, Jeonbuk. IBD-specific maternally derived antibodies were measured from 698 chickens and the mean titers of maternal antibodies were $3,572{\pm}1,402$ in broilers, $1,262{\pm}762$ in white-semi broilers, and $1,932{\pm}912$ in Korean native chickens. At 2 weeks after vaccination, the geometric mean antibody titers of broiler, white-semi broiler, and Korean native chicken were $582{\pm}427$, $3255{\pm}1,080$, and $1,023{\pm}499$, respectively. According to sequence analysis of the variable virion protein 2 gene, 4 isolates were found to be very virulent IBDV, 9 isolates classical virulent, and 2 isolates intermediate plus vaccine strain.
