TL;DR: Results suggested that the env gene, E element, and U3 region in the ALV-J layer isolates have evolved rapidly and were significantly different from those of the ALv-J broiler isolates.

TL;DR: This study identified the pandemic nature of the novel variant IBDVs for the first time but also discovered the distinct molecular epidemiological characteristics of these viruses, which will contribute more to the control of the disease.

TL;DR: In this paper, a recombinant fowlpox virus expressing glycoprotein B (gB) of the infectious laryngotracheitis virus (ILTV) was constructed and compared after challenge with a lethal dose of virulent ILTV.

TL;DR: Dual evidence from natural and rescued strains identified that the cell tropism of vvIBDV to CEF cells was determined by the combined VP2 mutations Q253H and A284T, but not by single mutation, which were mainly responsible for the virulence of IBDV.

TL;DR: An antigen-capture enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay employing monoclonal and polyclonal antibodies against p27 detected the virus in the albumin and cloacal swabs of naturally infected chickens and the results were confirmed by PCR, indicating that the AC-ELISA was a suitable method for the detection of ALV.
